This first release of The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music Online includes all ten volumes of The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, a comprehensive, award-winning music text product. These volumes (more than 9,200 pages!) are keyword searchable; you can even narrow down the search to a specific volume.  When this project is complete, you can look forward to audio examples, drawings, maps, and more.  We've designed this database, with the input of more than 700 experts from around  the world, to be the foremost Internet resource in ethnomusicology, while being accessible to every student of music, geography, and culture.

Classical Music Reference Library also offers some exciting content in the first release. Users will have access to all of the Baker reference titles, plus additional sources. Together, there are more than 13,000 pages of material available including reference works from Baker, essays, and images of scores. Like The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music Online, Classical Music Reference Library is keyword searchable.  When this product is finished it will contain links to tracks in Classical Music Library and links to scores in Classical Music Scores Library and 30,000 pages of essential reference materials, spanning the entire history of Western classical music, in a unified online database.
