Mapping Australian Colonial Music with Trove: New Paradigms for Music Research, Teaching, and Librarianship

摘要

Survivals of U.S. and Australian early nineteenth-century sheet music share many generic and stylistic similarities. The library sectors in America and Australia are likewise similar, in having made this material available online early in their digitization programs. The freer access occasioned is now leading to a reconsideration of this previously misunderstood music, evidence of a partly shared music culture still largely unaffected by nineteenth-century canons. Positively dating the many undated prints has hitherto hampered scholars, students, and librarians. But now the National Library of Australia's new free online search service, Trove (http://www.trove.nla.gov.au), allows definitive dating of much early Australian printed music from articles and advertisements in electronic newspaper archives.View full textDownload full textKeywordsnineteenth-century music, sheet music, Australian music, musical compositions, Australian composers, virtual librariesRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10588167.2011.571168
