This is a database of ethnic music transcriptions and discographic
data, with emphasis on Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The primary
audience is musicians, but the large Balkan discography may also be
useful to others (singers, dancers, disc jockeys, researchers, music
lovers generally). This is a work in progress, and subject to the
limitations of my spare time. Various additional limitations are
mentioned in the sections below.
- Scores: searchable index of 1968 ethnic music transcriptions made between 1977 and
present.
- Discography: searchable index of
5506 albums (36590 tracks).
- Performers: searchable index of
3623 artists and ensembles represented in the
Scores and Discography sections above.
- Formats: details about various score file
formats and viewing options.
- Limitations: EMDB is a work in
progress. This page lists what's not right yet.
- Links: sites of related interest.
- Contribute: how you can help improve this site.
- Credits: folks who've contributed to
EMDB.
News:
- The discography has expanded again thanks to additional album,
track and image data from Liz Mellish and Nick Green. See Credits for more info.
- Mark Levy has contributed about a dozen Bulgarian transcriptions.
Hopefully, more will be made available in the future. See book ML01. James Bernhard translated Mark's
original Finale files into PDF and MusicML.
