Music Resource Guide: Composers

An A-Z list of classical composers, "for which there is a dedicated page at this site that may include a biography, recommended works, recommended recordings, and other related reviews and articles." A list of recommended (print) biographies is provided for most composers.

A searchable database of over 2600 living and dead composers. Each composer page generally offers images, a biography, and scores (some). Maintained by Jos Smeets.

The American Composers Forum is committed to supporting composers and developing new markets for their music through grants, commissions, and performance programs. The site provides K-12 education programs, grant information, professional development, comunity partnerships, fellowships, and more.

"A non-profit database...which aims to provide composers, listeners, performers, and researchers with a source of information about the music of our time." Offers links to websites of hundreds of contemporary composers.

“This list represents only a tiny fraction of more than 6000 women composers about whom a record exists. Only composers of classical music, whose works have been released by a commercial label, have been included in this database.”
