Classical Music Reference Library will bring together more than 40,000 pages of essential reference materials, including Baker's Dictionary of Music, Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, and Baker's Student Encyclopedia of Music, which have never before been available in electronic form. The collection delivers comprehensive coverage of all classical genres, spanning music from Medieval to the 21st century, with definitions of musical terms and biographical information on the major classical composers and artists. In addition to the Baker's resources, there are biographies, chronologies, primary source readings, critical texts, full text from other major reference works, biographical information, score and lyric excerpts, musical and notational terms, and photographs and images of people, instruments, and ensembles.

Free trials are available.
