    The International Music Score Library Project (or IMSLP), also known as the Petrucci Music Library, offers a wealth of free music scores for download. The site allows listeners to listen to many of the compositions (via midi or recording) and the public domain scores can be downloaded as PDF and printed for professional or personal use simply by accepting a disclaimer.

    This is my favorite go to wiki site for public domain sheet music. There thousands of works from thousands of composers. You can find almost anything that is in the public domain. This is great for personal use, or to direct students looking for music. Another great use for this sight is for score study.

    IMSLP is a great resource for finding music to study, or doing research about composers, orchestras, compositions, etc. My students have to do a research paper each semester, and this is their primary reference for the assignment. A great, educational tool.

    Admittedly, I'm a total geek for the "old classics", but I find this website absolutely amazing! In about 3 minutes time I was able to locate about a half dozen pieces that I've been looking for at some point or another since I started teaching. I think there are resources that every band director could use here.

    Purpose of this resource: The purpose of this resource is to provide access to wind ensemble and concert band repertoire in the public domain. Musical Content: This webpage contains thousands of works for concert band and wind ensemble. Works are categorized by graded difficulty, and contain full scores and parts. Other information: This is great resource for school music programs with limited budgets for purchasing music. It is also a good source for finding music that is not published any longer.

    Public Domain town band music library. Would be great for so many things - especially playing marches at MPA that aren't overdone.
  • jamluv2kik on 28 Sep 15
     
    This is another invaluable resource of Public Domain compositions for the Band World. So many of the old marches and waltzes are out of print and difficult to come by, but this website has an extensive list of great works that are all public domain. A great resource not only for finding pieces to play, but also for doing some traditional score study.

    This is a resource to gather public domain sheet music and lyrics. It is good for developing your own lessons and avoiding copyright, and also for programs which may not have a lot of money for new music. There are also composer pages, although I don't think these are exactly helpful. It lacks information other than birthdays and a general sentence explaining who the composer is.

    The purpose of this resource is to categorize and house a large quantity of choral music. As a resource this site could be used to find a range of music for performances, warm up exercise, chorales and instrumental playing. The options for voicing and parts in very broad which makes the amount of music available vast. When searching composers, it is best to know specifics as some composers share similar surnames.

    This website contains PDFs of music that is available for free to download in the United States. The music is public domain or available via a Creative Commons license. There is also an option to purchase some music. While bandmusicpdf.org is strictly for wind band music, IMSLP contains music for band and orchestra, as well as vocal and other instrumental works. This is very helpful with finding older music or replacing parts, especially with music that is out of print.

    IMSLP is a website where anyone can search music that is no longer under copyright law. Here you can find music from a symphony score to a Beethoven piano piece. This resource can be used by growing student-run ensembles that wish to perform classical music. I use this website when I want to practice bassoon repertoire or when I need to find another piece to practice on piano. This is also a great resource to show students how to properly find music with educated keyword searches through a public domain.
