Music By Black Composers
Prof. Megan E. Hill writes:
I am thrilled to announce MBC’s latest resource, an online directory of living Black composers! You can check it out here.
This directory is an on-going work in progress, and so
please let us know if you have additional information about any of the
composers already listed there, or if you know of a composer whose name
is currently not included but should be.
The directory is searchable by specific content, and
sortable according to surname, geographic region, gender, and year of
birth. It includes links to composers’ websites, when available, and to
public contact information. We hope that it will
be useful for those seeking to commission; performers, conductors, and
concert programers seeking existing music; and other researchers and
scholars.
Still to come in the coming months is MBC’s complete
database of music by composers of African descent throughout history.
Designed for use by students, teachers, performers, conductors,
administrators, scholars, and librarians, it will be more
extensive, containing facts about each composer and about individual
pieces, information about where to find the music, links to recordings,
program notes, and more. Stay tuned for news of its launch soon!
We hope that you spread the word of our new directory of
living composers. And please be in touch with feedback and suggestions
on how it might be improved or expanded!
Best wishes,
Megan Hill
