Proposed pieces for September 8, 2021
We've been running a little low on four-part music, so I added a couple.
Note that people who are used to running in-person groups think that having a stack of music next to their stand is a good way to be able to play this music with a group. For an online group, you have to not only have the stack of music next to your stand, but have done something to communicate the music to the people you'll be playing with online. If you send me an electronic copy of something you want to play, I will add it to this list.
I notice that people who haven't been coming regularly have missed having emails that indicate that the group is meeting. We have been meeting; it's just that nobody has been writing the emails. The people who said in June that they wouldn't be coming until September – it's September now.

Other options
If the pieces above don't work for whoever we have, there are the pieces we've played before, which are at http://serpentpublications.org/~lconrad/music/brs-loud/.
There's also all the serpentpublications.org pieces sorted by number of parts, and all the imslp.org Renaissance works sorted by various categories. cpdl.org doesn't sort things nicely, but has a lot of good stuff.
