The Ricercar program offers more than 4500 sheet music files (3500 in PDF format and 1000 in MEI format) for free download. This repertoire results from the various research projects conducted for several years by members of the team and associated researchers. All the scores have been established according to the standards of critical edition. All musical genres of the Renaissance are represented: masses, motets, secular vocal music, and instrumental music. As the various projects progress, new scores are regularly added to the database.
