Re: The C word
I agree that purely instrumental music should be posted elsewhere, e.g. on IMSLP, which already has an entry for Thomas Mancinus (it only has one entry, a vocal collection, but IMSLP is for vocal and instrumental music alike): https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Mancinus,_Thomas Can someone of the CPDL ...

Re: Madrigals and Partsongs Set in Chinese
It is a pity that noone has answered so far. This might be due to the fact that CPDL has no support for translations: there is not even a systematic way to specify meta information about a translation like, e.g., the translator, publication year, copyright status etc. This should not prevent you, ho...

Re: How to sing polyphonic Agnus Dei
For a more informed answer, you might post your question at https://forum.musicasacra.com/ . If you feel that Agnus I + Agnus II misses one repetition, or if even this is too long, a simple solution is to sing parts as chant from the Kyriale, e.g. Agnus I polyphonic - chanted Agnus I - Agnus II poly...

Re: Recent Modern music postings at ChoralWiki
An answer to @cgz about the motivation for dissonance heavy compositions. Dissonances can have many different functions: a) They can be used to drag to some other chord (functional harmnonics in classical and romantic music or in modern popular music) b) They can be used as expressive means, which o...

Re: O lux beata Trinitas - Mendelssohn - typo ?.
Why do you think that the changes are intentional? The Wikipedia site does not make this allegation and I am not sure whether the sources given there are even correct: There is no verse "Aspice Domine" in psalm 119, and https://gregorian.info gives Baruch 2,16 as source, which reads "...

Re: French Music for Winter
Two obvious suggestions:
- "Yver, vous n'estes qu'un villain" by Claude Debussy. In the public domain and available on CPDL.
- "En Hiver" by Paul Hindemith. Still under copyright and available from Schott and resellers.

Re: Looking for "liturgy music" but not sure what it is properly called
From your description, it seems that you are looking for "Falsobordone" settings. See this very informative Video (by "Early Music Sources") for an introduction and an explanation of the difference to "fauxbourdon" and "faburden": https://youtu.be/j9y5N13un9s ...

Re: Pre-Romantic poetry settings
LJoy: " Or was that a thing only really begun by the Romantics?" No, apart from Petrarca, there were many other "notable poets" in Italy. Actually almost all madrigals were based on high quality poetry. One particular popular poet was Guarini, of whose "Il Pastor fido" ...

Re: Pre-Romantic poetry settings
A look at the CPDL categories "Madrigal" (https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Madrigals) and "Chansons" (https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Chansons) should yield enough stuff for more than a life time.

Re: Best copyright type for self-published work
If your work is based in parts (e.g. the text) on a copyrighted third party work that is not subject to a free license, it is unlikely that the copyright holder will agree to a "more formal" free license like, e.g., CC-BY or CC-BY-SA. Such licenses would allow for free redistribution and f...

Re: Gloria I w/polyphony
Not sure what you mean with "Gloria I", but I guess you mean the first Gloria in the "Kyriale" part of the Graduale (p. 712 in the "Graduale Triplex" from 1973). All pieces in the Graduale give a "mode" in bold letters left to the beginning of each piece. In t...

Re: Ye auntient orthographie.
Dear Chris, please note that most CPDL members speak English only as their second language. Using the full spectrum of your vocabulary does not help being understood. Especially when looking up words like "nonce" in a dictionary leaves the reader even more perplexed what on earth this migh...

Re: REPERTOIRE FOR NEW INTERGENERATIONAL CHOIR
Some time has passed since your question, but here is nevertheless a suggestion. You might consider two part pieces that are set in "double counterpoint", i.e. that sound equally well when sung by mixed voices or with voices exchanged. You do not write whether sacred music is an option, bu...

Re: Request for Copy of Archive
As CPDL is a static website, you should be able to copy it with wget . Use the options --mirror , --convert-links and --no-parent , so that the page is viewable offline. Beware, however, that you are not allowed to make the copy available to third parties (this is one of the drawbacks that non-free ...

Re: copyright question Salve Regina
The edition itself says that this piece is copied from the "Liber Usualis", where you can find it on p. 276. An internet search for "liber usualis salve regina" will point you to scans of the source. The edition is thus not copyrighted, but it might be that the anonymous piece fr...
