Music: Music-Related Databases

JSTOR is an interdisciplinary database providing indexing, abstracts, and full-text content for scholarly articles, e-books, and a selection of historic pamphlets for primary source research. The collection is searchable by keyword, browseable by title and publisher, and can be filtered by discipline.

LibraryMusicSource.com provides access to sheet music including vocal music, instrumental solos, piano music, orchestral parts and more. The collection can be searched for a specific work or browsed by genre or by composer.

This database is targeted to those who need to find just the right song quickly and easily, whether the song is a well-known standard or a "rare find." If you are preparing for an audition or cabaret appearance or looking for a song to use in a video, this database will create a custom list of titles. Founded by Steven Gross, the well-known Broadway musical director, conductor, and pianist, this database draws from 150 years of musical theater repertoire. Once you have your list created, options are provided to simplify the purchase, rental or downloading of the sheet music and recordings.
