Composition

A guide to library resources for composers.

How to use this guide

Use the menu bars on the left to find resources about composing, arranging, orchestration, notation, and writing program notes.  For example, click the "Articles" bar to see a list of journals and databases for finding articles about composers and composition.

For a more general guide to music resources in the library, start with the main Music Research Guide.

If you want more specific research help or you have a question (simple or complex) please email me at ashaffer@uoregon.edu.  --Ann
