The IN Harmony website features sheet music “by Indiana composers, arrangers, lyricists or publishers as well as sheet music about the state.” Though the scope is narrow, the collection is significant. Most of the material would be termed “popular”, but there are some “serious” works. While the collection spans a wide range of publication dates, works published before 1923 are downloadable in PDF form.
Several noted composers are featured prominently, including Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, George M. Cohan and Carrie Jacobs-Bond. Here are links to some specific songs:
