Description

Classical Scores Library will contain 15,000 classical scores digitized from both editions either in-copyright or in the public domain. Both major and less-known composers are represented.

The database includes material from Boosey and Hawkes and some from the University Music Editions microfilm series.  The collection includes compositions from all periods from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Coverage includes full scores, study scores, piano and vocal scores, and piano reductions of pieces.

The database is indexed to provide searches in musically relevant fields, including: composer, title of work, opus number, key, genre, instrument(s), and time period.  Specific fields for scores include: score type, duration, editor, arranger, and publisher.  New scores are still being added.
