Jacob Handl's Opus musicum
Posted: 06 Oct 2025 17:13
I’m very pleased to share that, after six months of work, the complete Opus musicum (all four volumes) by Jacob Handl is now freely available on CPDL.
When I began this project in April, only 142 of Handl’s 374 motets for the liturgical year were available. I set out to transcribe the remainder from the original print, and it’s a delight to see the full set in all its glory.

I’d love to hear from anyone who performs or makes use of these editions!
