Wisconsin sheet music database
-
This is an index of items housed in the sheet music collection of the Wisconsin Music Archives at the Mills Music Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison. The collection contains music written by Wisconsin composers, published by Wisconsin publishers, and pieces whose subject matter is Wisconsin. The publications date from the late 1850s, extend to the present, and include principally, but not exclusively, popular music traditions. While the majority of pieces are songs, the database also includes music for piano, instrumental music, and choral music. English, of course, predominates, but a significant number of German language items can be found. Most items are published. While each item in the index retains a strong Wisconsin connection, many of the titles were published elsewhere in the United States and some were published simultaneously in Germany. Currently, the total Wisconsin sheet music collection numbers approximately 3000 items with about 2800 items included in this index. Staff add titles to the index as time permits. Some records for selected compositions have associated images of original sheet music. Over time additional images may be added to the database. (from the website)
