Now available in paperback and with over 10,000 entries, the Oxford
Dictionary of Music (previously the Concise Oxford Dictionary of
Music) offers broad coverage of a wide range of musical categories
spanning many eras, including composers, librettists, singers,
orchestras, important ballets and operas, and musical instruments
and their history. Over 250 new entries have been added to this
edition to expand coverage of popular music, ethnomusicology,
modern and contemporary composers, music analysis, and recording
technology. Existing entries have been expanded where necessary to
include more coverage of the reception of major works, and to
include key new works and categories, such as multimedia.
Entry-level web links are listed and regularly updated on a
dedicated companion website, expanding the scope of the dictionary.
The dictionary now also includes two useful appendices, one listing
French, German, and Italian musical terms with their English
translations, and an abbreviations list for letters commonly used
in musical scores and musical writing. The Oxford Dictionary of
Music is the most up-to-date and accessible dictionary of musical
terms available and an essential point of reference for music
students, teachers, lecturers, professional musicians, as well as
music enthusiasts.
