Choral Public Domain Library

Sounds good enough to me, Max. I was afraid the wiki was down for everyone.

Best wishes,
Chuck

The site was working again late last night. My IP address is: 24.118.171.28
Anyway, no problems now!
Thanks, Max.

I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error now when I try to go to cpdl.org ... is something wrong?

Forbidden

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Greetings.
There is no problem at all to use Mendelssohn's "Lift Thine Eyes" as the work has been in the public domain for a very long time. Scores are available for free download at CPDL.

The Cantus database at
https://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/chant/153371
indicates that the sequence Beata progenies is for "Nativitas Mariae".

Chris, I just checked the upload logs and see that you uploaded PDF and MID files for "Jesu Dulcis Memoria SATB" on August 11, as well as for "Jesu Dulcis Memoria (3part 5 vv)" on August 15. But in neither case did you fill out and submit a ChoralWiki add work form which is neces...

I second Maggie's recommendation of "Behind Bars" ... it's the gold standard.

Evidently, the Multi-Category Search cannot handle composer names which have diacritical marks: Fauré gives no results, just as Schütz gives no results. Knowing that Schütz works are all catalogued with SWV numbers, I tried "SWV" and got 31 results (all Schütz works) for 5-part a cappella ...

I just moved #33537 to the Anerio work (even though that is itself wrongfully attributed).

Only CPDL #33537 of the two Anonymous scores coincides with the Anerio. CPDL #33538 is an entirely different work.

For (1) I got 10 results. For (2) I got 168 results. On a lark, I selected 4-part but did not select ATTB for (2) and got 2377 results. The extra work i these last two cases is probably due to a new work being added since the above trials were run. It's likely that for (2) your student inadvertently...

Re 2 - Sacred music. I have never viewed this as referring exclusively to sacred Christian music. To do so would exclude, among others, sacred Jewish music (of which quite a bit is available at CPDL). Sure, the vast majority of sacred music at CPDL is Christian, but CPDL is a word-wide, internationa...

The little white "file details" icon often does not display, most often after the page has been modified by a mass edit (typically from the ReplaceText facility). If you open such a page for editing and click "Preview" the icon will reappear in the preview pane, and you can go fr...

[ This was posted earlier as a News Item at the ChoralWiki ] A few days ago in an email exchange with the artistic director of a notable professional vocal ensemble located in the UK, I received the the following comment: "... CPDL - it's such a wonderful resource which we have used often. I wo...

With "Easter", "4-part", "Latin" I got 69 results.
With "Easter", "4-part", "English" I got 116 results.

It appears that one now has to specify only one choice (or zero choices) in each group.
