Ustaritz, Lapurdi.  The Basque Cultural Institute of Iparralde (EKE) has published the archive of composer Jo Maris on its website www.eke.org.  It includes more than 300 songs and the majority of them are in Basque but also includes some in Spanish harmonized by Jo Maris, that are now at the disposition of singing fans around the world.

The scores can be downloaded from the Jo Maris Fund, in PDF, MID, and Sibelius formats.  The list of songs is long and in some cases includes various versions of the same piece, as in the case of “Agur Jaunak” (for four voices, Lesbordes…) or “Aita Gurea” (Madina, Madina for four voices…).
