MUSI 662: Introduction to Research in Music

Professor Emeritus Alexander Silbiger unveiled the second, revised edition of his Frescobaldi Thematic Catalogue Online (FTCO) at its new home on the Society of Seventeenth-Century.

Themefinder is a non-profit collaborative project of the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH) at Stanford University and the Cognitive and Systematic Musicology Laboratory at the Ohio State University.

Musipedia uses the "Melodyhound" melody search engine. You can find and identify a tune even if the melody is all you know. You can play it on a piano keyboard, whistle it to the computer, simply tap the rhythm on the computer keyboard or use the Parsons code.

The Bizet Catalogue is primarily a list of Bizet's works, providing essential information about the history and content of each one. It gives information on manuscript and printed sources, on documentary materials relating to the composition, performance and publication of each work, and is intended to provide a full historical documentation of Bizet's work as composer and transcriber.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: The Complete Works (CPEB:CW) is an editorial and publishing project of the Packard Humanities Institute, in cooperation with the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, the Sächsische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, and Harvard University. Its goal is to make available, in both printed and digital formats, a critical edition of the composer’s works.

The Bach digital database portal is designed to provide Bach researchers, professional musicians and amateur music-lovers with solid information on the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and other composers from the Bach family and their whereabouts. Detailed, fully searchable findings from research into Bach are rapidly available via various search forms.

The digitized version offers the musical text and the critical commentaries of the entire Neue Mozart-Ausgabe, edited by the Internationale Stiftung Mozart in cooperation with the Mozart cities of Augsburg, Salzburg, and Vienna. The printed edition has been published by Bärenreiter-Verlag

An eighteen-month pilot study for the OCVE project was supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 2003–04, followed by three developmental phases (2005–09, 2011–15, and 2015–17). The OCVE site currently comprises c. 6,000 digital images of individual pages of primary source material of the music of Fryderyk Chopin, comprising music text and other elements of manuscripts, first editions, and later impressions produced during Chopin’s lifetime or after his death, along with associated metadata.
