Costanzo festa biography of michael jordan

is a detailed catalogue of early music sources designed to help musicians perform, academics study, and enthusiasts explore a vast and glorious repertoire quickly and easily. It aims to combine the practicality of CPDL with the academic rigour and ambition of the RISM census, to make use of similar projects where possible, and to directly combat the frustrations performing musicians have with all existing resources.

Its three main goals are:

• To assist performers, directors, and editors by cataloguing the contents of primary sources, source concordances, and basic information about how each piece of music can be performed.
• To provide a reliable starting point for academic research by linking to library catalogues, other existing databases, and facsimile images of early music manuscripts and prints.
• To provide a repository for properly sourced critical editions, performing scores, and recordings of as much of this music as possible, each carefully vetted for typesetting quality and accuracy, and made available for free download, so that this music might be discovered and appreciated by a wider audience.

The database was founded by Francis Bevan in as an outlet for his editing hobby and is regularly updated by him and a small team of enthusiasts. If you would like to contribute some cataloguing time, recordings or editions, submit corrections, commission an edition or just donate some cash, please get in touch with Francis via email: polyphonydatabase@ Read more about the project's history at the Crowdfunder page.

The best way to help fund the project is to commission performing editions. New editions can be made quickly for as little as £

Understanding the clef images

A red clef means the voice is missing from this source. Where there are no concordances to fill in the gaps, this means the piece will require reconstruction.

A green clef means the voice is incomplete in this source. This might denote a fragment of a large

So these whole-month on-this-day posts might be a little bit unwieldy, but it&#;s the way I&#;ve decided to handle them. I update my comments about some of the composers or whatever little peanut-gallery commentary I might have that I didn&#;t have last year when we were doing these weekly, but after a full year of monthly posts, I won&#;t be reposting them again. I&#;ll just look to update them if there&#;s anything new in subsequent years. Open the full article and do a search for any keywords if you&#;re really looking for something. Here we go.
