Music Monday - Adrian Adam Maydwell Music Archive
/Back in May I wrote about this beautiful collection of choral music. I saw Tony Maydwell again over the weekend and he told me that the collection has now grown to over 500 works! This is such a generous gift to the worldwide choral music community and so I decided to repost the original for any of you who may have missed it first time around:
Perth based harpist, choral director, musicologist and collector and researcher of all choral things Renaissance, Baroque and Bolivian, Anthony (Tony) Maydwell, has set up a collection of works in memory of his son Adrian, also a musician and singer, who tragically lost his life in a road accident.
There are over 170 works already uploaded and eventually there will be over a thousand.
All are available for free with the only proviso being that appropriate attribution is given in performance.
This is an incredible gesture from Anthony Maydwell and one which will benefit generations of musicians who love to play and sing this music. Tony writes in a facebook post:
Adrian loved this repertoire and had opportunity to sing a great deal of it during his lifetime. Faith and I hope this will in a small way keep his memory alive for those who knew him and further an appreciation for the rich experience that can be had from singing and listening to this beautiful music.
Please share details of the site with musician friends:
