Finding Music–A guide to searching the library.As we continue to improve our catalog to help you find what you are looking for, please let us know how we can improve. In this fourth edition of the web site we are trying to make the Library fit more comfortably on small devices and improve the search. It’s this spirit of generosity that is making this heritage project truly “The band library for musicians, by musicians!” Friends of the library send missing pages, and volunteers create transposed parts for modern bands. We continue to scan old music–we post both old and new editions each month. Thanks to the band community the Library continues to grow. If you are looking for public domain music to play with your school band, community band or other group, you’ll find it here–marches, waltzes, rags, theater music, cornet solos, trombone features, and much more. If you have music like this and wish to share it with the clarinet community, just scan it, save it as a pdf file and email it to us. If it checks out as being out of copyright, we will post it.BandMusic PDF Library preserves and shares band music from the Golden Age of the American Town Band. If published prior to 1963, we can check to make sure it is in the public domain. Music that was published prior to 1925 is usually in the public domain.

These are all old enough to be out of copyright in essentially all countries. Others featured in this archive are from pre-1925 music editions. Many of our scores were either written or arranged by modern composers who have donated their music to the Clarinet Institute. The copyright owners give permission for you to print, play and perform the music, but not to sell or distribute the music. Many pieces are covered by copyright, however. We can therefore copy them and distribute them freely.
