Sound Off: Music for Bail hosts an Engrave-A-Thon! We will be meeting over Zoom to spend an hour engraving new editions of works by historically marginalized composers, learning about their histories, and sharing them freely with the greater Western classical music community over IMSLP. We welcome you to join us as an engraver (open to any kind of music engraving software, including MuseScore and Noteflight!), as a guest lecturer, or even simply as a friend cheering us on!

We will have a list of pieces ready for people to work on -- all editions or manuscripts pulled from IMSLP, but we welcome any alternative versions that one might have access to via institutional resources or JStor. In addition, we welcome new pieces that are not on our list but that our community brings in, as well as new arrangements of works! We particularly would love to see expansions of the repertoire for instruments that do not currently have a large repertoire of Baroque, Classical, or Romantic-era music outside of the “canon”.

At 8 PM EST we’ll transition to Zoom games in celebration of an hour of hard work and for the fun of it!
