Du Chemin Project | RicercarDataLab

Du Chemin project is a website dedicated to the music books crafted by the Parisian printer Nicolas Du Chemin between 1549 and 1568. The site collects the digital reproduction of sixteen sets of polyphonic French songs books, each one organized in two part books, one for Superius and Tenor and the other for Contratenor and Bassus. Download, free of charge, images of the albums, articles and critical notes by Richard Freedman about Nicolas Du Chemin, his books, their contents and contexts, and reconstructions of the incomplete works in PDF and MEI format.

Du Chemin project makes available to our community of music lovers, musicians and researchers a neglected but important repertory of 380 French songs which trace changing literary tastes, musical fashions, and above all they attest of the impact of the relatively new medium of printing on sixteenth-century musical culture. The user can look through the books, search by title of song, by literary source and by composer. Critical music editions and many other supports are available on the Lost Voices Project companion website.

Musicologists interested in contributing are invited to contact the responsible of the project, Richard Freedman.
