Welcome to the Early Guitar Database

The Early Guitar Database endeavors to be a comprehensive resource for the study of the five-course Baroque guitar. Its primary goal is to maintain a searchable database of entries on every piece of music published for the instrument in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Currently the database contains entries for Baroque guitar music published in France and Italy; entries for music published elsewhere will be added soon.

You can browse individual works or search published collections. For a graphical exploration of the database's contents, see the visualizations page.
