With the Garland Encyclopedia of World Music Online, Healey Library now has an online encyclopedia covering music
from all around the world - Africa; Australia and the Pacific Islands; East
Asia: China, Japan, and Korea; Europe; the Middle East; South America, Mexico,
Central America, and the Caribbean; Southeast Asia; South Asia: the Indian
Subcontinent; and the United States and Canada.
It is an ethnomusicological delight. You can find illustrated articles on musical instruments from accordions to zithers, research composers and performers, and study an area’s musical heritage and genres. Plus it includes audio samples of music from each area of the world.
Enjoy!
