There is a significant amount of excellent Swedish music from the past that remains little known and is seldom heard. The aim of the Swedish Musical Heritage project is to enhance our knowledge of this music and to promote its performance. A major share of older Swedish music is notoriously difficult to perform, simply because the existing sources are either inaccessible to musicians, are in the form of illegible manuscripts, or are not practical to use for other reasons. Surprisingly, this even applies to some music by a number of Sweden's most internationally renowned composers (Wilhelm Stenhammar, Joseph Martin Kraus, Johan Helmich Roman, Hugo Alfvén, to name a few). Swedish Musical Heritage makes music from several centuries available to musicians free of charge, both in Sweden and abroad. The pillars of the project are: -A database containing comprehensive information about the composers and their music -Critical editions of musical scores available free of charge on the website -Authoritative texts about Swedish musical history -Recordings (full-length and samplers) (Costs for project director, executive editors, research director, communications director, editors, web development and design, notation compositors, digital editions)
