Hello all,
There are now 1,272 composers listed on CPDL. In an effort to improve the quality and information on these composer pages, we are announcing the Adopt-A-Composer program. See list below for composers already adopted. Yes, this is a chance to study a composer, develop a web page, and help your fellow choral musician all at once! For this program we are looking for volunteers to select a composer, and add content to the composer's wiki page. This content can include of the following items:
- List of sheet music organized by various criteria (publication date, opus, genre)
- List of complete works (choral/vocal/all)
- List of all publications/editions
- Biography
- Bibliographic information
- External links
- Recordings of interest
- Images
These items do not have to be included, and other content not listed here may also be added. While there is a great deal of flexibility in this, it is generally a good idea to stay with the general guidelines and organizational structures of this wiki. If you are interested in "adopting" a composer, please click on the discussion tab and volunteer. If several folks volunteer for the same composer, admins may need to assign composers. Thanks!
Best regards,
Rafael Ornes
Manager, CPDL
