Musica Viva 2010
One of the oldest and largest independent music sites on the internet celebrates the new year with a new design and lots of new content!
The free sheet music downloads, the encyclopedia of music, the instrument gallery and all the old content are still here, just (hopefully) easier to find. and now there's even more: a lyrics database, a music database, a small collection of sound files etc., etc., etc.
Some of the new sections are rather basic at the moment, there's lot of cleaning up to do all over the place after the rebuild and there are still a few new features to add. But even now I'm sure you'll find the new site a great improvement over the old one. And there's more to come - much more. So please enjoy my site and be sure to visit again later for even more great stuff!
