Oxford Dictionary Of Music- The

---

For the sixth edition of this classic dictionary- the text has been thoroughly revised and updated. 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.
