List of 20th and 21st Centuries Composers
|
HARRASSOWITZ has recently revised its list of 20th and 21st Centuries Composers.
This updated list is now being used as the basis for selecting materials for your contemporary Music Scores Approval Plan.
The HARRASSOWITZ 20th and 21st Centuries Composers List has been in existence for more than 50 years. Today, more than 5,000 composers are noted. The list is continuously updated and is both a comprehensive listing of contemporary composers and an invaluable resource for collection development.
Some changes to your approval plan may occur as new composers have been added to the list while others have been moved up a category due to their growing prominence in the music scene. A list indicating the changes made from last year is available upon request. However, if you are currently using a self-defined list of composers, there will be no changes to your plan.
The list of contemporary composers is accessible in Fokus, the HARRASSOWITZ system for acquisition and management of scholarly resources, under "Composers" in the "Approval Plans" section. Viewing the composer list in Fokus offers users numerous advantages. As a customer, you can see which composers are already part of your Music Scores Approval Plan Profile. You can also easily filter and sort the list by many different criteria: by our ranking, by the composer’s country of origin, year of birth, diversity criteria, and composer awards. These filters can also be combined.
The latest feature, added in 2025, is the category “Composers who suffered persecution under totalitarian regimes”.
