Other CPDL topics

This page is part of the ChoralWiki:Bulletin board.

Starting a new topic: Click on the [edit] link at the right of the General topics (most recent first) section and type

== <title of new topic> ==

at the beginning of a new line, below the comment line that reads "Start NEW TOPICS immediately below this line, ABOVE (BEFORE) any other topics." Then post your initial message as described below. Thus, a new topic will appear before (above) any other topics, to make for easier browsing. For example, typing

== Looking for works in Quenya ==

will start a new topic, appearing as:

Looking for works in Quenya[edit]

Starting new topics in the Announcements and special topics section should follow the same protocol, but such topics should only be started by CPDL Admins/Sysops.

When adding a message to an existing topic, simply click on the [edit] link at the right of the topic title and post your message below any previously posted message(s) on the topic as follows:

Posting a message (note NEW syntax): Start a new line, and use the Template:ItemPost in the format:

{{ItemPost
|by=<your name & date>
|text=<your message>
}}

The easiest way to sign and date your message is to type four tildes (~~~~) for <your name & date>. Thus, for example, typing

{{ItemPost
|by=~~~~
|text=
Here is a sample message
spread
over
several lines.<br>

It even has more than one paragraph.
}}

resulted in:

Here is a sample message spread over several lines.

It even has more than one paragraph.

N.B. The old syntax for Template:ItemPost still works but is now deprecated in favor of the new syntax.

Questioning the presence of art songs

  • Posted by: Lyle Neff 22:36, 10 June 2008 (PDT)
 Help 

Why are art songs being posted on ChoralWiki? These are for solo voice, and have nothing to do with chorus. It can be confusing to people who are trying to look for choral score, especially when they are listed on the opening page under "Most recent scores."

 Help 

Hi Lyle. CPDL is for all vocal music in the public domain including choral works and solo vocal works. It just so happens that the majority of works contributed to CPDL are for choirs. Also, it is quite a coincidence that most of the recently added scores are for solo voice. They are as welcome here as choral works so it would be wrong to not include them under the "Most recent scores" list. If you're just looking for choral works, try browsing under one or more of the extensive Music Subcategories which are not for soloists, eg. Anthems or Motets for Sacred works and Madrigals or Partsongs for Secular works. You can also browse the archive by voicing, eg. SATB.

IMSL Has announced their return as of July 1, 2008

 Help 

I see on their BBS system that this server of Instrumental Public Domain music will be returning to service on July 1, 2008. They are committed to defending themselves from the "Cease-and-desist" order brought by Universal Edition (UE), and have set up a temporary wiki which is on-line now.
