Tune in to Queensland's musical heritage
Music Queensland is the State Library's digital music collection, and contains digitised copies of historically significant music scores about our State. Queensland places, people, events and pastimes are highlighted in this collection. Some of the scores have accompanying sound recordings, which you can listen to while you view the scores. Music Queensland is a contributor to Music Australia, a portal to Australian music resources held in the National Library of Australia and many other repositories.
How old is the music in the collection?
Most of the music digitised in Music Queensland is published before 1930, as most items published after 1930 are still in copyright.
Can I copy Music Queensland scores?
