MUSICA AND YOU

 
WELCOME IN MUSICA, THE VIRTUAL CHORAL LIBRARY
 
Initially created in 1983 and developed in "La Partithèque", the library of the Centre d'Art Polyphonique d'Alsace (CAPA), France, the MUSICA project gained, in 1990, full support from the International Center for Choral Music (ICCM) to fulfill the wish of the International Federation for Choral Music (IFCM) i.e.: create a comprehensive database of the choral music repertoire of the world.

A non-profit making association, "Musica International", created on February 6th, 1998, is devoted to developing and propagating the use of Musica database and to transforming it progressively into a virtual multimedia library.
The opportunity of becoming a member of Musica International and of contributing to the formation of the virtual library is offered to all academic institutions, music federations, libraries and publishers who wish to promote the diffusion of the choral repertoire. At the time of the change of structure, partners of 14 countries were participating in the input of data and in the dissemination of information.
