I'm about to start publishing some of the repertoire of the Galiano Trio, a
highly successful group that's been working in Vancouver, BC for about
fifteen years (I think - I've played with them on and off for twelve). You
can check out their repertoire at <http://musicbc.com/galiano> -
potentially most of it could eventually be published! (The books are about
six inches thick...)

Since this is a commercial venture (though it could be quite a while before
I make any money off it :-) please email me off-list for further details.

btw, what sorts of things are in the Music for Three series? and are they
simplified arrangements playable on different combinations of instruments?
