Celebrating Five Years of the Free Sheet Music Newsletter!
Dear
Here's your JB Linear Monthly Freebie.
This month the freebie sheet music is "Jigg", the 3rd movement of Symphony #7 by William Boyce (1711 - 1779). This is set by John Gibson for woodwind trios that can be played in various combinations. The download includes all the parts (flute, oboe and bassoon, with alternate Bb and bass clarinet parts for each.) You may mix and match the parts as needed.
You can access the freebies of the past in the JB Linear Music Archive. Click on "Freebie Archives" at the left.
