Title: Looking for a Music Library
Post by: tony smedley on 2011-06-26 04:00 pm
Before my PC breakdown I had a link to an internet site (American ? ) which offered a whole range of music in free download form and often as Midi or NWC files.
But I cannot remember the name of the site, which was unusual enough that I should have remembered it

Not quite what you're asking for, but there are 500 to 600 free old band arrangements in PDF format at http://bandmusicpdf.org (http://bandmusicpdf.org).  These are from the early 20th and late 19th centuries, but here are some nice ones there to download.  Instrumentation is old fashioned - who uses Eb horns these days?

David,

Thank you for that link.
As you say there are hundreds of music libraries in Google.   However, i have at last managed to recover from  the depths of my fading memory enough information to get me back to the “Werner  Icking Music Archive”

I have no hesitation in recommending this archive although its emphasis is on the classical repertoire.

I have a very tattered copy of Boëllmann’s  “Suite Gothique” and found that I could download free pdf copies.

Aha!
Now that you said it, I remember having visited http://icking-music-archive.org/ (http://icking-music-archive.org/) some times.
Sorry for not having been of help, but if you count on MY memory...
