Collection of Ornamented Vocal Music

The issue of ornamentation is perhaps one of the most tangible elements of historical performance practices due in part to the high level of attention dedicated to the subject by historical writers.

This project is essentially a collaborative, open-access list of ornamented vocal music ranging from late Medieval period to the 20th century. The aim of the project is to collate the vast amount of source material which is already available online into a single, easily searchable document.
