files
An outlet for free music files in .pdf format from the hands of YM.
Here you will find settings for very specific ensemble formats, but often the settings will be extremely flexible by offering scores and parts for recorders, flutes, clarinets, saxophones, brasses, and strings of very diverse sizes, pitches, and clefs. Instruments not mentioned here most often will find a relevant part to play from.
This makes the music offered relevant for ad-hoc ensembles as found in churches, schools, and community contexts.
All files are complying with all rules of copyright.
This collection is about one musician/music teacher giving free music and teaching/studying material to other musicians, amateurs and professionals alike. Please use it with that in mind.
