Dear Everyone,

I think we should keep CPDL what it is. I mean Choral Public Domain Library. For this reason, I think we should exclude solo songs with piano accompaniment. There are several other places on the web to publish this kind of music.

Hi Mart,

Your issue has been explained in the post: in the "Bulletin Board" Forum: Other CPDL Topics under posting: "Questioning the presence of art songs". Please see the administrative reply there. Johnhenryfowler 06:22, 10 July 2008 (PDT)

Questioning the presence of art songs

 Help 

Why are art songs being posted on ChoralWiki? These are for solo voice, and have nothing to do with chorus. It can be confusing to people who are trying to look for choral score, especially when they are listed on the opening page under "Most recent scores."

 Help 

Hi Lyle. CPDL is for all vocal music in the public domain including choral works and solo vocal works. It just so happens that the majority of works contributed to CPDL are for choirs. Also, it is quite a coincidence that most of the recently added scores are for solo voice. They are as welcome here as choral works so it would be wrong to not include them under the "Most recent scores" list. If you're just looking for choral works, try browsing under one or more of the extensive Music Subcategories which are not for soloists, eg. Anthems or Motets for Sacred works and Madrigals or Partsongs for Secular works. You can also browse the archive by voicing, eg. SATB.

Thanks for the clarification. I suppose it's the phrases "Choral Public Domain Library" and "Free Choral Sheet Music" on the main page -not to mention the name "ChoralWiki" -- that create the conceptual problem for me in this regard. Lyle Neff 22:29, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
