ChoralWiki:Score pages pass 18,000
On the 14th of May, 2014, CPDL reached a new high of 18,000 score pages. As you read this, there are 49244 score pages. Of these, 31623 are classified as containing sacred works, and 17676 are classfied as containing secular works (there is some overlap).
Here is a breakdown of our current holdings by musical era:
- 861 Medieval works
- 20524 Renaissance works
- 5684 Baroque works
- 4229 Classical works
- 7918 Romantic works
- 2306 Early 20th century works
- 7082 Modern works
It should be remarked that, within the past few months, the number of Modern era works has overtaken the number of Romantic era works.
Over the past year and a half or so, new score pages have been added at a rate of approximately 1,000 new score pages every 6 months. In the context of a goal of 2,000 new score pages per year and a projected 2,500 pages with new editions added in the current year, the bar charts below track the current year's progress against the fraction of the year elapsed.

CPDL is fortunate to have a devoted group of contributors of scores, as well as those who work behind the scenes editing pages, doing maintenance chores that help to keep the ChoralWiki site at such a high level of usefulness to the choral community. To everyone who has helped to make CPDL a much treasured success, thank you.
