New Music for
Viols!! - Viol Fantasias, Quartets, Trios and More - Now Available here to try for Free!
J.S. Bach Two Part Inventions - Adapted for Bass Viol by Tom Kurz
Bach’s Two Part Inventions may be the most famous duets in history, duets for the two hands of a single keyboard player. To arrange them for two bass viols I’ve liberally transposed whole pieces and passages within by an octave. Sometimes I’ve changed the key signature. I’ve kept the original note values, but when my wife and I play them we use an eighth note as the tactus/pulse. These pieces will work at whatever speed you feel comfortable.
The sheet music is available here in PDF form.
New Viol Fantasia 19 Added July, 2016!!
New version of Viol Fantasia 3 Quartet Added March, 2016!!
It seems like most of the fantasias for viols that were written during the renaissance have been found and published. Do you sometimes wish that more music had been composed for viols?? The music below is an attempt to create new music with the same style and feel as the old music. It is music written for viols by a long time viol player. Print a copy of the music for yourself, and play it with friends. I hope that you enjoy it. If you come back to this page in the future there will be more music available. You can write me about what you liked about the music (or didn't like) at kathyandtomk@verizon.net.
The Score and individual parts for each Fantasia are available here in PDF form. Just click on those you'd like to try:
