Special Thanks

• The Viola da Gamba Society of America (VdGSA) for providing a lot of support over the years. The "Garvin Byrd Edition" night at the 2019 Pacific University conclave was a lot of fun.
• Kate Ward (VdGSA member) for doing a tremendous amount of work indexing everything done through 2019, including lining up links to IMSLP and adding ranges for every part of every piece.
• Gail Ann Schroeder (VdGSA member) for recording many of the pieces I've transcribed for "music - 1" consorts during the pandemic (subscribe at https://viol.us/ to find them).
• Phillip Serna (VdGSA member) for promoting my editions on Twitter and also recording many for "music - 1" consorts (subscribe at https://www.phillipwserna.com/consortsminusone).
• Peter Payzant for providing the first computer index to make navigating via browser on thumb drives or this website much easier. I had been giving out copies on thumb drive of everything without considering the difficulties people would have finding things.
• Gerhardt Weydt for pointing out numerous text mistakes and providing text and underlay corrections for many Italian language pieces.
• Martin Morrell for answering questions and providing Italian language help (see his wonderful site https://italianmadrigal.com/ for madrigal transcriptions, many slightly later than mine).
• Pothárn Imre, who has presented a lot of recorded music on youtube accompanied by my scores (and has also offered several corrections to a number of pieces--his ear is very good). Visit his youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/pannonia77/videos.
• Tony Kline, for permission to use his Petrarca translations (VERY appreciated)
• Kind permission to use their translations: Emma Tristram (Arcadelt), James and Ashley of Lyricle (https://www.lyraclemusic.com/) for their Vinci translations
• People who have offered corrections: Alexander Slávik (text underlay in a number of Byrd pieces), Mick Swithinbank (of CPDL), John Kelly, Andrew Fysh, Frank Shirley, Gawain Glenton (http://www.gawainglenton.com/). There are many others I haven't kept good track of.
• The local viol players in Dallas and Fort Worth that have put up with me bringing numerous transcriptions to consort sessions, to try out.
