Good news for all Canadian choral musicians:
The National Arts Service Organization "Choral Canada" has become an active member of Musica International.
As a result, all the members of Choral Canada will benefit from full privileged access to www.musicanet.org via the “Members Area” (“Domaine des membres”) link on the www.choralcanada.org homepage, from July 1st, Canada day.
Those living in Quebec already have full privileged access via the “Zone membres” link at the homepage of the Alliance des Chorales du Québec (www.chorales.ca).
This active membership status should also favor the enhancement of the visibility of Canadian choral music in Musica.

Every month we propose one of our favourites as a piece for choral directors to take with them to the proverbial desert island. Go to http://www.musicanet.org and select “Favorite piece”.
The choice for June 2016 is "Ah! si mon moine voulait danser" in an arrangement by Donald Patriquin (Canada).

2,500 new composers listed in Musica!
|
|
The database of the Union Sainte-Cécile music library (cathedral of Strasbourg) is currently being merged with the Musica database. Once this is completed, the library will be managed directly at musicanet.org, where it will benefit from all our online tools and can be browsed by Musica users.
The final transfer of the data on over 10,000 scores that were not yet catalogued in Musica is still ongoing. However, we have already transferred the details of the 2,500 composers that did not yet have a Musica biography. This gives us a total of more than 32,000 composer biographies in Musica.
Meanwhile we are continuing to review and enhance the other 30,000 composer records, in particular by adding links to detailed external biographies.
The Musica database of composers is fast becoming indispensable for musicians seeking biographical information.
To consult the database, just click on the “Composers’ bio” tab on the homepage.
