Free Sheet Music for Everyone
2124 pieces of music – free to download, modify, print, copy, distribute, perform, and record – all in the Public Domain or under Creative Commons licenses, in PDF, MIDI, and editable LilyPond file formats. More
Classical and Contemporary
The Mutopia Project offers sheet music editions of classical music for free download. These are based on editions in the public domain. A team of volunteers typesets the music using LilyPond software. Why not join them?! See the page on how to contribute for more information.
We also offer a growing number of modern editions, arrangements and new music. The respective editors, arrangers and composers have chosen to make these works freely available.
Usage of the Music
All of the music on Mutopia may be freely downloaded, printed, copied, distributed, modified, performed and recorded. Music is supplied as PDF files for easy printing on either A4 or US Letter paper. The LilyPond source files are also available, which allow you to make your own editions based on ours. Computer-generated audio previews of the music are available as MIDI files, to give you a rough idea of what the music sounds like.
Most of our music is distributed under Creative Commons licenses. Each piece clearly lists what license it is distributed under. For precise details of what each license permits, see the license details page.
