Welcome to Musica Viva!
Founded in February 1999, Musica Viva is one of the oldest and largest independent music sites. At first the site was just a collection fo downloadable free classical sheet music but over the years it has evolved to include a lot of other content as well, such as an encyclopedia of music, an instrument gallery, a lyrics database, a music database, a small collection of sound files etc., etc., etc.
Some of the more recently added sections are till rather basic but everything here is constantly deveolping and more content is added all the time.
Please enjoy my site and be sure to visit again later for even more great stuff!
