Codex Verus

[woodwindy]

Partly so I don't lose it again, partly so all of you know about this great online medieval music resource: Codex Verus. It's simple transcriptions, melody only, of about a zillion of the tunes most popular in the current European neo-medieval scene. That's right, it's the medievalist's fake book

Great find! Thank you!
Have you checked out scorser.com ?
I have found a great deal of music there.

I found a whole book of ballads! Several pieces I wanted by Landini and some other later period things. Not to mention arias I needed for work including one in Cyrillic! love it.

I'll have to look after I get home--for some reason, my workplace spam filter thinks it's a porn site....

....It's quite a mixed bag, isn't it? Medieval, sixteenth-century, Trad....One-Stop Shopping for All Your Recreational Musicmaking Needs :-D

Heh, yeah, I should've emphasized the "neo-medieval scene" part more in my writeup -- it's definitely eclectic. :)
