Victorian sheet music

21 Jul 2025

Librarians are calling on the city’s modern-day musicians and singers to help them bring an incredible collection of vintage sheet music to life for the first time in more than a century. The array of late 19th and early 20th century songs is part of a vast collection at Leeds Central Library, which includes a combination of well-known musical classics alongside forgotten songs penned by local composers. Music librarian Lee Noon is shown here with a selection of the sheet music.
