African American Music Reference
African American Music Reference will bring together 50,000 pages of text reference, biographies, chronologies, sheet music, images, lyrics, liner notes, and discographies which chronicle the diverse history and culture of the African American experience through music. The database is constantly expanding to include comprehensive coverage of blues, jazz, spirituals, civil rights songs, slave songs, minstrelsy, rhythm and blues, gospel, and other forms of black American musical expression.
Research into the music of Africa has for many years been concentrated in the American and European diaspora. It has further been characterised by the same divisions as music research elsewhere, be they between ethnomusicologists and musicologists, or theorists and historians. The journal wishes to establish a unified African voice for African music research. Through its juxtaposition of the historical and the theoretical, the indigenous, the popular and the ‘Western’, it intends to reflect the diversity of African musics and the research that they inspire.
The Journal of Music Theory fosters conceptual and technical innovations in abstract, systematic musical thought and cultivates the historical study of musical concepts and compositional techniques.
