Samuel Scheidt: cantiones sacrae not full score

as said, Samuel Schiedt's Cantiones Sacrae link to the complete score is only a link to part of these works - to 'Ein feste burg'.

The full score is present but only in part book format. Just thought the distinction should be noticed. I must say I was a little disappointed when I clicked on the complete score!!

"Full score" refers to full orchestral or choral score, as opposed to a vocal score or reduction. You can have a full score of an excerpt, which is what has happened here.

I have added an "Excerpts" header to make it more clear, but we don't have the complete work, I'm afraid.

Since this site is run on a volunteer basis, the full score of the complete work won't be available until someone finds a public domain copy of it in a library (or owns one), and has the time to scan, process, and upload it.

You can, if you want, add the complete work to:
