Hume, Tobias: Captaine Hume´s Musicall Humors

The bass viol music from 'The First Part of Ayres' (1605), hg. Connelly.

These are the 35 pieces from the middle of First Part of Ayres (1605) which were never in tablature. Ranging in difficulty from fairly easy to virtuosic, they provide an excellent introduction to Hume's solo pieces for bass viol. Hume's introduction has been reproduced at the back of the book.
