A very important
work of DoveSong.com will be making
available at no cost, performance scores of important musical works for
use by choirs, singers, instrumentalists and students.
This section
contains a listing of the works that will be made available as
time passes and with the help of funding from outside sources. As
new works are processed by the team at DoveSong.com, they will be
placed into the Sheet Music Library.
The Sheet Music
Library contains three sections: Choral Music, Vocal Music, and
Instrumental Music. The Choral Music Section will be the main section
as it will contain music from the DoveSong Sacred Music
Project. The work on this project began 1971 and continued until
1998. It consisted of placing into modern notation, the great
Roman Catholic sacred music of the Renaissance and pre-Renaissance
period, including Gregorian Chant.
All works made
available in the Sheet Music Library will be in the public domain,
and will be free for
use in any manner by any one. The music will be formatted
in the PDF format and will require the Acrobat reader from
Adobe for viewing or printing. This program is available for free and is already installed
on many computer systems. It is the de facto standard in the
computer industry for the viewing of documents such as sheet
music. You may download a free copy by clicking here:
