Welcome to the Basilisk Edition!…
...the small sheet music publishing house from Basel, which specializes especially in recorder music and music for viola da gamba. However, most of our sheet music is also suitable for other melodic instruments, broken consorts and vocal ensembles. Our catalog includes works with new music by contemporary composers as well as early music.

Flute dose:
Des Klanges Süssigkeit zeigt schon der Flöten-nahme.
die dient zur Courtoisie bey Sternen voller Nacht.
Sie ists die offt bewegt, manch angenehme Dame
wann ihr ein Ständgen wird bey stiller ruh gebracht
das sie des sanfften Betts, sich offt wohl gar entziehet
und zu dem süssen thon, hin an das Fenster fliehet.
Johann Christoph Weigel (1661 – 1726)
