| | 'One of the problems of the Internet is that the information on it is not too well ordered. This of course also counts for information about Classical Composers. This is an attempt to do something about that. 'It is my goal to make this a starting place for looking for information on any classical composer, long dead or still living, famous or not at all (yet) so famous. It is not my intention to store all information at this site, but just to provide some basic data, and then link to as many pages at different sites as possible (which will probably be difficult for the less famous composers, but who knows...). I might start my own pages about some of my favourite composers; you will notice soon enough.'. Rewarding Site covering 3809 composers (6 April 2009) with much other useful information - including, most recently, the start of a 'Music Atlas'. |

| | {PRINT PUBLICATION} 'The second edition of this book now contains over 10,000 composers and 74,000 entries, making it the most comprehensive list of organ music ever published. Each composer is listed with ‘life-dates’ and their main countries of residence; alternate spellings of names which are cross referenced in their related positions are given, together with the portion of the name usually used highlighted. The list of compositions for each composer includes publisher, date of publication and composition, opus number, and the movements of large multi-movement works. Note that owing to varied information sometimes available, not all of the above is necessary on each work. Other information included is an appendix of publishers including their web-address where known; also a list of compositions and composers per country, and a list of the most prolific composers.' |

| | 'This service consists most basically of five compilations of material: (1) a master, alphabetically-arranged, "Composers" list (containing basic data, major works, and influences) of 444 individuals; (2) a "Basic Library" list of works culled from this master list (and re-arranged by musical genre); (3) a "Geographical Roster" in which the names of the 444 composers are listed under the names of the countries with which they were (/are) associated; (4) an alphabetically-arranged "Index of Forms and Styles" listing the names of composers associated with each subject entry; and (5) a "Glossary," which defines terms used here. Each of these lists is scrollable and accessible from the same window; to switch entirely from one list to another to begin a different kind of browsing one need only click on one of the right-side links provided.' A very good informative Site to browse around ... |
