Introduction

There are over 1,350 composer pages at CPDL. In an effort to improve the quality and information on these composer pages, CPDL has an Adopt-A-Composer program. Those composers who have already been adopted already are listed below. Yes, this is a chance to study a composer, aid in developing a that composer's web page, and help your fellow choral musician all at once! For this program we are looking for volunteers to select a composer, and add content to the composer's wiki page. While there is a great deal of flexibility in this, we ask that contributors stay with the general guidelines and organizational structures of this wiki.

If you are interested in "adopting" a composer, please volunteer on the talk page - or contact an admin - and your name will be added to the list below. If several folks volunteer for the same composer, admins may need to assign composers. Thanks!

Content items

Currently adopted composers

  • Juan del Encina - Here we have such a very interesting composer of the Catholic Kings of Spain (really, the four kingdoms that became Spain). If would you mind, I want to adopt him. - Oscar Santos (22 November 2007)
  • Robert Jones - Not a main interest, but I've 4/6 of his books in facsimile on my office floor, so I'll take him on. Rob Durk (24 March 2006)
  • Claudio Monteverdi – I'm currently preparing to conduct an entire program of Monteverdi, so I might as well sign up for him. Philip Legge (23 March 2006)
