Things to consider
Start with the four-part works if your ensemble is smaller or newer to this style; they're more transparent and easier to balance. Move to five and six-part scoring as your group develops comfort with Renaissance counterpoint and ensemble blend. You'll need both the full score for direction and individual parts for each player, so order accordingly.
