\naddition of\u00a0Naxos Music Library\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Naxos Music Library Jazz\u00a0<\/a>

The basis of the collection consists of the entire output of
\nthe Naxos Recording Company. The mission of the company is
\nand has been since its inception in 1987 to provide the
\nwidest possible range of repertoire to the widest possible
\naudience, resulting in an extremely extensive online musical
\nlibrary.<\/p>\n

All of Naxos\u2019 recordings are available in the online service
\nwhether they are out of print or still available for
\npurchase, and every new recording is included in the online
\ndatabase as soon as it is commercially released. The
\ncollection includes classical, jazz, blues, and world music.
\nThe classical repertoire is thoroughly represented,
\nincluding unusual and contemporary works that cannot be
\nheard elsewhere such as the works of Joachim Raff, William
\nHenry Fry, Krzysztof Penderecki, Bohuslav Martinu, and
\nothers. The strength of the Naxos collection is in its breadth. The
\nworld music collection is particularly strong in the music
\nof East Asia. The content of the database grows not only by
\nthe production of new recordings, but also by Naxos
\nnegotiating with other recording companies to include
\nadditional repertoire. Their website states that an
\naverage of 39 CD\u2019s per month were added in 2006.<\/p>\n

The interface is easy to use and quite intuitive. Plenty of
\nonline help is available, including a FAQ, User Guide, and
\nUser Instructions. One can use the Advanced Search Feature
\nto search by keyword, disc or composition title, composer,
\nartist, record label, arranger, lyricist, performing group,
\ngenre or music category, instrument, period, country, year
\ncomposed, and by mood or scenarios. In addition, the
\ncollection is browsable by genres such as Classical,
\nJazz\/Contemporary, World\/Folk, New Age, Chinese, Pop and
\nRock and also by categories such as Ballet, Chamber Music,
\nSacred Choral, Secular Choral, Composers, Concertos,
\nEducational, Film Music, Instrumental, Musicals,
\nOpera\/Operetta, TV Music, Vocal, and Collections.<\/p>\n

Naxos provides podcasts such as Classical Music Spotlight,
\nChoral Music of Thomas Tallis, American Jewish Music from
\nthe Milken Archive with Leonard Nimoy, and interviews with
\nperformers and composers.<\/p>\n

Faculty can create folders for shared playlists for use in
\nclasses, and provide persistant links to sound recordings in
\ncourse management software such as Blackboard .<\/p>\n

Sound recordings provide an additional and enjoyable layer
\nof depth to the understanding of culture and history. The
\nNaxos Collection is invaluable for teaching history, ethnic
\nstudies, world cultures, and African-American studies as
\nwell as for music, dance, and theater.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
