Erik's Music Database - Scores

Home Scores Discography Audio Performers Terminology Notation Formats Limitations Links Contribute Credits

The scores section of EMDB currently contains 2545 ethnic music transcriptions and related scores, with emphasis on Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Scores have been tagged with multiple searchable attributes (e.g. by rhythm or instrument, see terminology for details). New score entries are posted as I complete them in my current transcription book. These entries will bear the comment "not yet scanned" until a digital scan of the page is posted. I post all the scans for a transcription book in a batch once it is full. At present, I complete a trascription book every year or two.

Scores are grouped into books by transcriber and are used here with permission:
