We would like to invite composers who have written for the viol to come forward and list their work on this page. Equally, anyone who knows of compositions for viol, whether commercially available for purchase or not, is invited to send us details: Composer's name, title of work, instrumentation, contact details of composer or publisher.
We would also like to include an image of a first page of the work(s) to give players an idea what they are letting themselves in for. If there is a YouTube link or a midi file, even better!
