Digitizing, Transcribing and Publishing the Handwritten Music Score Archives of Ionian Islands Philharmonic Bands

During the long history of the philharmonic bands in the Ionian Islands, since the mid of the nineteenth century, valuable archives of handwritten music scores have been established. These archives consist of the scores of original works locally created and from adaptations of western music works of Greek and other European composers. For the long-term preservation of the archives of 7 Philharmonic Bands, the handwritten music scores were digitised and a significant amount of (the most important of) them was transcribed into MusicXML. Moreover, all these archives were integrated into, and published as a single archive. All these activities were part of the project “Preservation and Prominence of the Musical Heritage of the Region of Ionian Islands Prefecture through the management of the digital archives of the Philharmonic Orchestras of the Region.” This work presents the challenges, the workflows and the system developed to achieve the objectives of the project. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG
