I hope to remember to post at least one work by Boyce each day for as long as I can find fresh ones on the Tube.

Starting with his symphony number 1

Nice music Mike, this will come in useful if you are going to post all eight.

He also has some pieces transcribed for/and for organ too that are rather nice.

True Bill, I have posted some of his organ works previously in the Pipe Organ forum, I intended this thread mainly for orchestral works, however his organ works still classify as Classical.

Something slightly diferent, Fugues from some of his symphonies

Part of a Youtube series covering various composers, there is another "best fugues" set from Boyce works, exerpts from his Concerti Grosso (or is it Concerti grossi?) and overtures.
