William Boyce - Overture to The Secular Masque 1/3

[shreenicello]

Very lovely music! Does anyone know where I can get the sheet music to this for string orchestra?

@shreenicello Does not exist. The original manuscript score and parts are in the Bodleian library if you want to copy them and make an arrangement! A slightly different version which appears in the 12 Overtures was published in score edited by Richard Platt, since discontinued but it is available from allegro.co.uk if you search for Boyce Overture 6 or something similar. However it requires 2 oboes as well as strings in the first 2 movts and two horns and flutes in the last.
