Chorale-Corpus

This is a Corpus of Chorale Collections, from teh sixteenth to eighteenth century and including but extending far beyond those of J. S. Bach:

  1. 371 Bach chorales
  2. The Geneva Psalter with harmonisations by Claude Goudimel
  3. More to follow soon ...

We provide

  • all scores in the maximally interoperable “musicXML” format which can be opened in any notation software (MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale, … ).
  • complete transparency over the sources used and conversion routines (including code).

Code is currently corpus-specific and hosted within-corpus. This may change.

We're in the process of making a much larger, multi-group, multi-composer collection of chorales where this set (Bach, Goudimel, ...) join many others. It's possible / likely that this repo will re-locate there. Watch this space!
