Now in its third year Saothar is building a collection of contemporary compositions in partnership with composers. Each composition is available as a complete & free learning package:

• Interactive score, providing playback, ABC notation and more (see the user guide for details)
• Audio or video recordings, played by the composer
• Recordings of tunes at a slow pace to facilitate learning by ear
• PDF download of the notes, transcribed by the composer
