Sheet Music
Robert King has created many dozens of editions of baroque and classical music for use in concerts and recordings by choirs, orchestras and soloists across the world, including The King's Consort. These are practical performing editions, ideal for both professional and amateur use.
All our editions offered for sale are properly typeset. Instrumental parts have intelligent page turns, and continuo bass lines are fully figured (but keyboard continuo realisations are not supplied). If a vocal score is not listed, singers perform from the full score. We are gradually adding vocal scores which contain keyboard reductions of the orchestral parts.
Please ensure that you order enough full scores for conductor, vocal soloist(s) and keyboard continuo player(s). We offer substantial discounts for multiple sets of vocal scores, making it economic to order anywhere between 5 and 100 scores for your chorus.
