Ensemble
Ensemble is a consortial project, led by the University of Birmingham and funded by RSLP, to add catalogue records for printed music from 1801-1975 to the on-line catalogues of the partner institutions. St Andrews, as a copyright library from 1710 to 1836, has a large collection of printed music from the years 1801-1850, including items by major composers such as Haydn, Beethoven, Arne and Clementi, but also with a substantial amount of ephemeral pieces of music such as songs, glees and theatre music. Much of this music is little known and the collection as a whole gives a fascinating insight into this enterprising period of music publishing. With the project now completed, records for 4,896 items have been added to to .
