Classical Music Library is the world's largest multi-label database
of Classical music recordings for listening and learning in libraries.
Coverage of repertoire is increasing as new labels are added (currently
over 32 labels), with a particular focus on content that
meets the needs of educators and students. Never before have institutions
been able to offer library users such ease of access to our recorded
heritage - both recordings of the past, and new releases. The award-winning Classical Music Library's growing collection of 50,000-plus tracks for listening and searching is supplemented by extensive reference materials and backed by a powerful suite of tools designed to support learning. |
| IPA Source | "IPA Source was developed to benefit singers, teachers, and all those interested in the correct and knowledgeable performance of vocal literature. What started in 2003 as a support site for students in a university diction class has grown into the largest collection of literal translations and International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions on the web. The goal of IPA Source is to promote the comprehension and accurate pronunciation of foreign language texts in art song and opera in order that the singer may imbue each syllable with the appropriate emotional content." |
