Music in Mup format, available for downloading

A selection of sheet music in Mup format is available for downloading. Since they are in Mup format, the files are relatively small and they can be either printed out or transformed to MIDI format. You will need the Mup program in order to print or play the music.

Some of this music is copyrighted music. You are granted the right to download the files and to print or perform the music only for your own private and non-profit use.

Music currently available for downloading includes the following.

• Waltz No. 3 A Waltz for piano that uses Mup macros, so that any music that is common between the "plain" and "embellished" versions of the themes only had to be entered once.

• Woodland Echoes and Echoes II. Two relaxing pieces in similar style that make heavy use of Mup macros.

Other Mup music sites

There are additional Mup songs available from

• http://mellowood.ca/mup/mup-review.html
• http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~winikoff/music
• The Werner Icking Music Archive includes some Mup songs, specifically:
  • J. Molinet: Tart ara mon cueur A semi barless typesetting of an early 16th century French chanson.
  • S. de Vivanco: Cum ieiunatis A 5-part early 17th century Latin motet making use of MUP transposition for printing out score and parts in the original key and transposed to a 'recorder friendly' key
  • M. Ræhs: Sonata 3tia for flauto traverso & b.c. The first in a planned series of (at least) 10 sonatas by that composer. The Mup coding facilitates printout of an urtext score, very close to the original manuscript, a full score with harpsichord settings of the figured bass and separate flauto and violoncello parts. This is a musicological project including comments and critical notes on editors' changes typeset with TeX. The integration of MUP- and TeX generated stuff is done by shell scripting (bash).
  • C. Mondrup: Ça ira? - Werner Icking in memoriam Makes use of a serial composition 'house keeping' macro. If Mup is called with option -D ANALYZE then row indexes are printed with all notes. Otherwise they are suppressed for 'normal' typesetting.
  • T.Ravenscroft: The Whole Booke of Psalmes Modern editions from the original part books of Ravenscroft's Psalm settings. These scores make use of mensural notation macros for typesetting incipits of initial notes, keys and meter indications from the original printing. These macros correspond to a set of MusiXTeX macros and Lilypond mensural time symbol feta fonts used in the modern edition of the music from Ravenscroft's treaty on mensural notation 'A Briefe Discourse ...' also found on the Icking archive. For the Mup Macros, the time symbols are 'hand drawn' with Mup drawing instructions.
• http://www.hymnstogod.org includes hundreds of public domain hymns printed using Mup. Uses shaped note heads.
