Online Music Databases

Did you know that the UVU Library offers several online tools for music researchers? All of the following databases can be access from the Library's complete list of databases.

Classical Scores Library

The Classical Scores Library offers access to a growing collection of scores and libretti for operas, symphonies, sonatas, and many more. You can locate scores and libretti by composer, instrument, time period, key, and genre. 

Scores are for individual use only, and not for performance.

Grove Music Online

Grove Music Online contains the full text version of three important music reference books. It is best used to locate biographical and background information on musicians, instruments, music history, and more. Articles are thoroughly documented.

International Index to Music Periodicals

The IIMP is a terrific source for research about music and music instruction. It contains full text for many of the journals and magazines (though not all) that it indexes. It includes both peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed articles.

Naxos Music Library

The Naxos Music Library is a unique resource that allows you to listen to (but not download) complete works of classical music. 

For help using Naxos Music Library in classes, please contact the Reference Desk at x8840.

If you have any questions about locating scores, recordings, or research about music, please contact our music librarian, Keith Rowley, at x8780.
