UM: Music

The Crescendo from the Corner blog gives a review of UM’s digital music library. “The collection allows searching by Boolean operators, keywords, and proximity searches. For those that are not looking for anything in particular, one can also browse the collection by title, author (composer), and subject. The subject option is very interesting. Many of the subjects that are used are genres, styles, and instruments. However, they also include subjects of the pieces themselves. For example, the subject Edgar Allen Poe brings up a song entitled ‘To Helen.’ This song is written by Phillip Greeley Clapp with words by Edgar Allen Poe.” [Source]
