Oxford Music Online is an innovative new gateway that offers users the ability, for the first time ever, to access and cross-search the vast resources of Oxford's music reference in one location. Now available at Oxford Music Online is Colin Larkin's landmark Encyclopedia of Popular Music - online for the first time by popular demand. The most comprehensive reference work devoted exclusively to popular music, the Encyclopedia is the authoritative biographical encyclopedia of rock, pop, and jazz artists, covering popular music from 1900 to the present. It is exhaustive, meticulous, authoritative — and incredibly fun to read.
Coming in early 2008 is a complete redesign of Grove Music Online that includes not only functional updates and enhancements, but also the addition of substantial new Oxford reference content.
Later in 2008, Richard Taruskin's The Oxford History of Western Music will be offered through Oxford Music Online for a one-time purchase fee. This outstanding resource sets the details of music, the chronological sweep of figures, works, and musical ideas, within the larger context of world affairs and cultural history
