Special Interest

Part-songs in the UK and US, 1850-1925, generated by the proliferation of mixed-voice choirs, prompted by technological advances, socio-economic changes, music literacy movements, and a demand for accessible repertoire apart from large-scale works in both amateur and professional ranks.

Contributions to CPDL include choral scores of the era’s oft-forgotten composers as well as biographical information gleaned from dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspapers, and music periodicals, as well as genealogical information and historical/legal records.
