Description
"A Little ABC of the Renaissance" is a collection of variations for flute and harp by David W Solomons based on songs and madrigals by Claude Gervaise (pub Attaignant), Bataille and - mainly - Claudin de Sermisy (hence "ABC").

Thanks to the kind assistance of an expert local harpist I have included all the necessary pedal markings for the harp.

The zip files contain scores and parts.
The sample audio is an electronic preview of the Variations on "Tant que vivray".
All of the electronic previews are available as shown in brackets below
