It considered to be an “American Treasure,” and it is held in the United States Library of Congress. It includes the first original music theory treatise written in America, and it contains evidence of the earliest known women composers in what is today the United States. This website is dedicated to research on the Ephrata Codex and its related sources. We hope that you marvel, as we do, at this extraordinary document, which brings a deeper understanding to American history.

Some of the music is by the solitary sisters of Ephrata, who are the earliest known composers in America. This is the first time this music has been performed by a professional ensemble, and it was recorded in the room for which the music was originally written.
