Robert King has edited more than a hundred editions of baroque and classical music for use in concerts and recordings. All have been used in professional concerts and/or recordings. They are practical, tried and tested performing editions, ideal for both professional and amateur use.
Instrumental parts have sensible page turns, and continuo bass lines are fully figured (keyboard continuo realisations are mostly not supplied). Please ensure that you order enough full scores for conductor, vocal soloist(s) and keyboard player(s). If a vocal score is not listed for a certain work, singers perform from the full score. We offer substantial price reductions for bulk purchases of chorus scores so that our customers don't feel tempted to buy one copy and photocopy the rest themselves: please ask us for a quotation. Where there is a recording of a work using this edition, we give the recording catalogue number.
We will advise you of the total price including postage, any applicable discounts (ie for multiple copies) and delivery times. We accept payment by Sterling cheque and by PayPal.
We aim to despatch music orders within a few days of receiving payment.
