Supporting Diversity in the Music Experience

Oxford Bibliographies provides bibliographies on a wide range of research topics, including:

• Karen's Giant Spreadsheet of Composer Diversity Websites -- a list of 60+ websites Karen consults when selecting new music by composers from historically underrepresented groups; please email Karen if you have suggestions of new sites to add or if links are broken.

Some of the sites Karen consults frequently from this spreadsheet include:

• Institute for Composer Diversity -- click the "search" button at the top to access their databases for composers, art songs, choral works, band works, orchestral works, and more.
• Diversity in Brass Music from Last Row Music -- lists of repertoire by woman composers and by Black composers
• No Broken Links -- Google spreadsheets for woodwind repertoire by composers from historically underrepresented groups
• Sphinx Catalogs  -- music for strings by Latin American composers
• A Seat at the Piano -- piano repertoire by BIPOC and woman composers
• Music By Black Composers -- repertoire lists of music by Black composers, currently strongest in string repertoire; see also their directories of living and historic Black composers
• SongHelix -- originally designed to track art songs by topic, it now also permits searching by composer identities

• Alex Shapiro's Programming Resources -- includes pages on woman composers, LGBTQIA2s Composers, and Black, Latino, Asian, and Indian composers
