Early Music
As a youth I had the good fortune to fall into the company of remarkably talented musical friends - Jeff Paris, Fred Devaney and Steve Mueller. Together we performed music of the Renaissance as the Williamson Consort.
Over the years our lives went separate ways, and more by chance than intent I became the custodian of our music collection. This page is a way for me to give the Williamson Folio back to my friends and pass the music along for your pleasure at the same time.

One last disclaimer - these are not scholarly editions. For one thing, I have re-barred several songs for ease of play by 21st century musicians, obliterating the dance meter. If you want scholarly, go to the London Pro Musica site. Their catalog is a wonderment.
