Mainly renaissance music. Says, "We specialize in editions of Renaissance Polyphony with modern clefs but otherwise containing the same information as the original players would have had. That is, there are not editorial barlines or other groupings. Any editorial emendations are clearly marked, and the parts are presented separately rather than in a score." Composers include Dowland, Morley, des Prez, Aldrich. 
[NB laymusic.org used to have renaissance music but that has now been relocated to serpentpublications.org ]
