Mutopia Project
Encyclopedia : M : MU : MUT : Mutopia Project
The Mutopia project is a volunteer-run effort to create a library of public domain sheet music, in a way similar to Project Gutenberg's library of public domain books.
The music is reproduced from old scores that are out of copyright. The new scores are typeset with GNU LilyPond and distributed in PDF, PostScript, and LilyPond format.
As of 30th June 2006, there are 694 pieces of music available, more than half of which are pieces for piano. There are also many pieces for voice, and various other musical instruments. At the top of the Mutopia project home page, there is a list with links to the most recently added pieces.
