Tamil hymns: public-domain tunes

Where a Tamil hymn's printed sheet could not be read, its tune was taken from a public-domain printing of the same tune and set to the Tamil words:

  • The Open Hymnal Project — hymns from 19th-century hymnals, marked public domain (46 scores).
  • J. S. Bach's four-part chorales, as encoded in the music21 corpus (26 scores).

Tools

Scores are engraved with Verovio; the English music files are written in Mup.
