'Guitar Loot'(ancient manuscripts plundered)
Eric Crouch's website contains arrangements for Classical Guitar
of Renaissance and Baroque lute music, with notes about the music
and its sources. The music files are in PDF and/or Scorch format.
Eric's purpose in creating this site
is to make available music that he has not found published elsewhere,
or where existing arrangements are unsatisfactory.
He intends this to be a growing collection, as he continues with
researching and arranging more pieces. www.guitarloot.co.uk
