===What is the "Choral Public Domain Library" anyway?===
<center>'''If you have a question that is not answered in one of the pages below, you can ask at the [{{MediaWiki:Discussions-url}} external forums] (requires a separate registration).'''</center>
The Choral Public Domain Library (CPDL) is an internet-based free sheet music website which specializes in choral music. Begun in December 1998, it is one of the largest free sheet music sites, with over 5,000 scores listed in the CPDL database. Over 200 volunteers have contributed music scores, and over 40 affiliated free sheet music websites are catalogued. Most of the scores are in the public domain, but some scores are newly composed. The website is managed by Rafael Ornes (ornes@cpdl.org).
