Hymns Hymns are primarily songs sung by congregations in worship. Unlike "anthems", the music is short--2 to 12 lines or so, with 4 to 8 lines being most common--and the text is divided into stanzas, with
the music repeated for each stanza. There is some content overlap with the "Gospel Music" category, which is more oriented toward "concert to audience" performance. "Chant," a very distinct musical style, is a separate category. "Carols"--a similar style with overlapping content, but more social than congregational in use--may be found either here or in the related "Carols" category. "Anthems" don't really have a home yet. Sites may contain hymn texts (lyrics), music written or used for hymns (midi files; or scores in graphic or other format) historical information about the origin or use of this music (hymnology); advertisements for hymnals, recordings, or indexes; indexes/links to printed or internet resources. Site descriptions begin with bracketed keywords including type of content (midi, scores, lyrics, links, indexes, hymnology); Hymnal names; styles (shape notes); denomination or nation (Baptist, Wesleyan, Lutheran, Canada, England, etc.) [feedback on the keywords--value or implementation--is welcome!]
(less...) Pop For sites offering lyrics to songs that appeared on pop charts such as the Top 30, Top 40 or Hot 100,
or their predecessor, the Hit Parade radio program.
(less...) Publishers In this category you can find sites of companies that publish sheet music of any kind.
Songwriting Contests, online discussions, ezines, magazines, workshops, associations, and other resources for songwriters about
the music business and the art, craft of songwriting.
(less...) Tablature For sites which offer free music written in Tablature/Tab, for the guitar in a variety of styles. This notation is often used as an alternative to "standard Western" notation for stringed instrument
players who wish to complement learning their music by ear, or who do not "read music". The standard elements of Tablature notation are that each line represents a string, and the finger-placing/fret is shown. Representation of key, timing, tempo, phrasing, and technique is not standardized.
(less...)Neigbour categories
Anti-Music Sites devoted to ridiculing, mocking, satirizing, and ranting about music genres, bands, and artists.
Arranging Composing and arranging music are loosely related, in that somebody sits down and writes out the music, but they are completely different concepts. Basically, composition is an act of bringing
something into existence. Arranging is reinterpretation, expansion, or the movement of a piece of music into a different context. Music that has been copied from the original into a different instrumentation are considered transcriptions. This category is for general information about arranging. Make sure of the legality of your arrangements before marketing them.
(less...) Awards Here are the web sites of organizations that honor musicians for their talent and success. Preference is given to
the official sites but others are welcome as well.
(less...) Bands and Artists This category is for bands and artists. No sites are listed in this category; they are all listed in subcategories.
Charts Sites in this category contain information on the ranking of songs, albums, artists, and so on. Some examples would include Billboard, MTV Countdown, etc. Charts in this particular category should be
global in nature: either a collection of charts for several different nations or a chart covering music worldwide.
(less...) Chats and Forums Chat rooms, forums and bulletin boards that are about music.
Classifieds Sites offering classified advertisements for musicians and music lovers.
Clubs and Venues This category lists places to listen to music, whether it's by a live band or played by a DJ. Whenever it has a
bar and a dance floor, it's likely to be listed here.
(less...) Collecting This category is for web sites about the hobby of music collecting as well as for Internet
resources that would be useful for music collectors.
(less...) CompetitionsComposition Sites in this category are related in some way to the art (and sometimes science and business) of composing music.

present their recommendations, discoveries, or advice.

Musicology Musicology is a systematic study of music in all of its forms of appearance. Musicology exists as an academic discipline that studies primarily composed and notated music, and is taught in
universities across the world. Musicology, as a discrete field of study, has its origins in an article by Guido Adler published in 1883 in Germany. It set out a manifesto for the systematic and analytic study of music, and many of the points and methods outlined by him continue to be the modus operandi for musicologists worldwide. One prominent discipline which grew out of traditional musicology is ethnomusicology, or the study of music as culture. Whereas musicology tends to study works of music that are notated on scores, the individuals and history that created such works, ethnomusicology studies the music of the world, as an act of cultural expression. Another offshoot discipline is popular music studies, which takes conventional musicology methods and applies them to modern popular music. Popular music studies also borrows methods from other academic disciplines such as critical theory, feminist discourses, and gender and media studies.
(less...) Music Videos This section contains websites relating to music videos, with a focus on promotional short-form videos, like the ones you may see on MTV or other music networks. The category is divided into many
different subcategories - this particular category is for the miscellaneous websites that don't fit anywhere else.
(less...) News and Media For the means of dissemination of information about music as opposed to the music itself. Includes timely coverage by media such as magazines, e-zines, newspapers, radio, and television, as well as
non-recurring works such as books and movies. Note that both magazines and e-zines have a distinct subcategory: Arts/Music/News_and_Media/Magazines_and_E-zines
(less...) Organizations Associations, organizations, and societies specializing in some aspect of music. Most music organizations are non-profit in status, and all have regular meetings and / or
conferences and a board of directors who oversee operations.
(less...) People A place to find composers, performers, historians, all the people associated with music.
Personal Pages Personal pages where the main focus is music. This category covers general pages that are too broad for any of the other Music categories. If you're not sure if you should submit to Personal Pages or
another category please submit it to the other category and if it's decided too broad for that category we will send in to Personal Pages.
(less...) Regional This category serves as a routing point made of shortcuts to the various and numerous regionally-specific categories on
the music in general at the Open Directory Project.
(less...) Resources For sites offering comprehensive information about music, or reference information that doesn't fit into any single music subcategory. Includes references such as musical dictionaries and
encyclopedias, and general guides to the subject. Also see subcategories for competitions, sheet music, and libraries and information centers.
(less...) Reviews This category for general sites that feature music reviews.
Sound Files This area is for web broadcasting stations (streaming) and sound file collections, full-length songs only, please.
Styles This category holds subcategories for various styles of music, as well as sites concerned with the way genres, types, and styles may be organized. Characterizing performers and performances by style
makes the vast subject of music easier to discuss and understand. Styles may include genres such as classical, rock and jazz; subgenres such as classical/opera, rock/metal, and jazz/ragtime; and types of music such as choral, Native American, and holiday. Genres may be defined by technical aspects such as instrumentation, harmony, melody, rhythm, and form, or according to schemes devised by writers and critics. Music types may be defined by these criteria as well as others such as subject matter, chronology, or performance context, and may cut across genre lines.
(less...) Technology For the ways in which technology and engineering support musical performance and recording, as well as means of musical expression arising directly from technological processes. Examples include
amplifiers, audio processors, loudspeakers, mixing boards, MIDI controllers, samplers, sequencers, synthesizers, and analog and digital recorders as well as software supporting these and other devices.
(less...) Theory Sites offering music theory, both specific and general, are listed here. Music theory is "a branch of study that includes many different methods for analyzing, classifying, and composing music and the
elements of music." (You will find a good writeup of music theory at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory ) Music Theory is not Musicology. Musicology seeks answers questions for Who, What, Where, When and Why questions. Music Theory seeks answers for How.
(less...) Trading Links for people interested in trading live recordings for various groups/artists. Sites about the trading of copyright commercial recordings or about the selling (not trading) of recordings do NOT
belong in this category. Media may include analog tape, CD-R, MP3 files, or DAT.
(less...) Weblogs A music weblog (blog) is run by an individual (or a small group of individuals) and covers topical issues in and around music. Weblogs are updated regularly and disseminate both fact and opinion
online. Weblogs are not constrained to a particular musical style or focus but offer simply writers' opinions on musical activities in a timely fashion.
(less...) Vocal Dictionary definition of Vocal: "for or produced by the voice: the vocal organs, ie the tongue, lips etc. Speaking,
singing and whistling are examples of vocal activities.
(less...) Women in Music Find information, news, pictures, organizations, and personal pages about women in music. Also, explore sites about many women bands and artists.
