Books of Hispanic Polyphony IMF CSIC (2017-2021) [ISSN 2565-1579], 2017

BHP has no chronological limitations, and we cover the period from the 15th through the 20th century. We do not provide images of the sources, unless the institutions that hold them do so through repositories or permission. In such cases, we incorporate the appropriate links; for instance, to the Biblioteca Digital Hispánica, for books at the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. We also incorporate links to manuscripts described in Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music (DIAMM), to printed books in Printed Sacred Music Database 1500-1800, to Portuguese Early Music (PEM) database, and to other appropriate websites that could offer relevant information. Our menu for “Sources”, “Locations”, “Institutions”, “People”, “Genres”, “Works”, “Movements”, “Documents” and “Bibliography” should give you a sense of our objective, and we are still building searching tools and different ways to connect information. We would like to serve as a reference tool and as a platform to present fresh, new research and foster international collaboration.

This digital library has now available for free consultation in open access digitized materials and references to more than 45.000 pieces collected in all seventeen Spanish autonomous communities: Andalusia, Aragon, Balearic Islands, Basque Country, Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile and León, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja, Madrid Community, Murcia Region, Navarre, Principality of Asturias, and Valencian Community; more materials from this collection, as well as from other collections of traditional music, are being incorporated on an ongoing basis. See "Sources" in the main menu. This FMT, created by Emilio Ros-Fábregas, presents “in digital form the single most important archive of Spanish musical folklore” (Journal of the American Musicological Society, 69/3, 2016, p. 869).

The Women’s Song Forum provides an opportunity to expand and enhance knowledge and understanding of this rich and significant area of musical practice and scholarship, and – as the name “forum” suggests – aims to encourage discussion and debate across different interest groups. It is also hoped that the forum will give access to performances of music that are otherwise hard to access.

The discussions involved different aspects of projects with digital music edition, annotation, analysis, and the problems related to preservation of music heritage, with particular attention to the situation in Ukraine. The diverse geographical and professional background and expertise of the authors provides, in their respective sections of the article, a rich panorama on technological projects, issues, models, interoperability, and digital tools. A final Appendix contains a useful list, with links, of the projects, websites, and tools mentioned during the STSM meeting. The article, as the entire journal Anuario Musical 79 (2024) is in open access.

Even though, at first, both repertories seem unconnected, they have many textual/literary and musical points in common, such as the presence/survival of old 15th–17th century texts and/or melodies of polyphonic romances (ballads) in the 20th century oral tradition; future technological developments will facilitate further connections beyond the ones already found through search by text incipits and numeric melodic incipit connecting both platforms. The presentation will have two parts devoted to FMT (with more than 45.000 references to melodies in open access, it is the largest online archive of folklore in the Hispanic world; it is used also for OMR research) and BHP (a reference online platform for polyphonic choir books in Spain and books with Hispanic polyphony elsewhere). After a brief explanation about the origin and scope of the repertories covered in each platform, a few examples of encoded transcriptions of a melody, of an incipit in mensural notation, and of a polyphonic work (in MusicXML, **mens, and **kern, respectively; MEI can be used, too) rendered through Verovio will illustrate the potential development of FMT and BHP. Both websites constitute leading educational and musicological resources of the very rich Spanish music heritage, inviting national and international collaboration (crowdsourcing) to expand the contents of both platforms and to develop their digital technology.

Many other sung versions of romances (ca. 1800) hitherto unpublished are now available in this open access digital platform containing more than 23.000 pieces of oral tradition, a repository that continues to grow due to the gathering of new materials on an ongoing basis. This website/database constitutes a powerful research tool, opened to the collaboration with researchers of the romancero.
