Index to Printed Music: Collections & Series

Posted on April 13, 2006 by Gisele Schierhorst

The Index to Printed Music: Collections & Series combines the Index Database, the Bibliography Database and the Names Database into the only electronic title for finding individual pieces of music printed in standard scholarly editions.

Because it indexes each individual piece in a collection, it provides superior access for scholars, performers, teachers, and other researchers. Music for specific performing forces is easily retrievable, thus offering detailed repertory for performers, conductors, and directors of ensembles. Approximately 135,000 index entries are included. A three-year Mellon Foundation grant will support the indexing of the music listed in the bibliography, Collected editions, historical series & sets & monuments of music, by George R. Hill and Norris L. Stephens, and to add additional titles to the bibliography and complete their indexing.
