Playlists

Listen to playlists for each chapter of Zorn 'Listening to Music'

Assemble My Playlists with the  icon alongside each work/track (be sure to register first, so that we have your email address and password to save your recordings for you)

Listen to 'Our Playlists' put together for your listening pleasure (Composers, Genres etc.)

Browse

Use the menu on the left to go to Genres of music (eg. Chamber) and narrow your search using the filters at the top of the page.

The recordings are listed by title of work. First any inverted commas, then numbers, then alphabetically (it's easy to follow the system for listing recordings once you get used to it!)

Search

Type a few words into the searchbox at the top of each page. Your results can then be filtered by the dropdown menu.

Eg. type Beethoven moonlight or bach bwv 1005 and you will see a list of recordings and arrangements of the work (eg. the Bach is also arranged for harpsichord)

The Advanced search will correct mis-spellings of composer when you select the field Composer

Information and Reference

This page will take you to Bios and Images of the Composers, and interesting concerts such as 'Discovering Music' as well as music used in Film

Composer works

This will list a composer works alphabetically. You can also use the dropdown to order them by Year of Composition, to see what Beethoven wrote each year!
