CHURCH MUSIC INSTITUTE RESOURCE LIBRARY
ACQUISITIONS OF COLLECTIONS OF MUSIC
The Church Music Institute library consists of physical copies of music professionally archived at the CMI offices in Dallas, TX. This physical library forms the basis for the virtual online library of choral and organ music, with acquisitions uploaded daily. The online library consists of a searchable database of organ and choral scores with page samples from each piece available for viewing. CMI gratefully acknowledges the institutions, individuals, and corporations below who have donated the music that forms the core of the collection.

If you are interested in donating music to our library, please contact the CMI staff here.
