This list is separate from the main Scores for download. Pieces have been chosen which lend themselves to unison rendition. Of necessity they are mostly in the simple style known as Plain Tunes. In many cases they have been transposed down, as the original voice part would have been for soprano or tenor rather than for mixed voices. So these versions should not be used in conjunction with the three or four part versions listed elsewhere. The keyboard accompaniments are straight transcriptions of the original vocal parts.
