The Web Library of Seventeenth-Century Music

WLSCM is a service offered by the Society of Seventeenth-Century Music to its members and to the musical community at large. It presents new editions of seventeenth-century compositions that have remained unpublished or that are not available commercially. Access is free to the general public provided the Conditions for Users (see below) are observed. Submisssions are invited. For more information, see About WLSCM.

New!! We are pleased to announce two additions to our WLSCM series:
Antonio Biffi's Miserere––a grand choral work by the Maestro di capella of Venice's San Marco
commissioned for performance in Versailles, in an edition by Don Fader;
and a hitherto unpublished anthem by John Blow, Jesus seeing the multitudes, in an edition by Alan Howard.
See Nos. 15 and 16 of the WLSCM Catalogue.

Several other editions are currently in preparation; some are listed in the catalogue. We are always interested in hearing about performances and other uses made of WLSCM editions (see contact information below).

Permission for performance in professional (for profit) settings must be negotiated directly between the performers or their agents and the editor.
