“In 1978, harpsichordist Elaine Comparone, National Endowment for the Arts grantee, Concert Artists Guild award winner, former Fulbright scholar and Affiliate Artist, founded Harpsichord Unlimited with Ronald S. Smith, librarian and music aficionado and Dorothy Wick, amateur harpsichordist and archivist. Their intent was to bring the harpsichord to a wide audience and to teach the public about the instrument, its history and its music.

The first project of Harpsichord Unlimited was a festival of chamber music at St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village. The series, known as the Winterfest Concerts, attracted large crowds and later extended its purview to St. Michael's Church on Manhattan's Upper West Side. These concerts ran for ten years, featuring Elaine Comparone, various guest artists and an in-house group, The Bach Family Strings. The programs included both little known and familiar early masterpieces along with contemporary works, all with harpsichord. …“

"Brad Leissa created this web site in 1995, in an attempt to make information on Handel (the man, the composer, and his music) more accessible to the ever-growing internet community. In May 2001 the English Handel musicologist David Vickers joined this effort as co-producer of GFHandel.org.

In our opinion, Handel deserves unequivocal recognition as one of the greatest composers, comfortably equal in artistic stature to other 18th century figures such as J.S. Bach, F.J. Haydn, W.A. Mozart, etc. We hope this web site serves as a valuable resource for both Handelian scholars and enthusiasts.

We aim to maintain accuracy in our presentation of musicological information about Handel, and give references to musicological publications whenever possible. Nevertheless, if you spot any errors or wish to submit constructive comments, please contact us. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

“This web site began on September 22, 2002, several years after I started playing Native American Flutes. I had started collecting resources on playing and making flutes that begged to be shared, and the Web was the best way to share this information. The original site, FluteKey.com, was a simple list of resources, including sheet music, fingering diagrams, measurements of the Anasazi flutes from the Broken Flute Cave, samples of the sounds of flutes in various keys, an on-line version of the NAFlutomat program to assist flute makers with construction measurements, and various sundry information.

Response was dramatic and traffic grew quickly. People were hungry for information! We continued to post topics over the years, largely in the realm of resources as opposed to actual flute instruction.  …”

“Welcome to the Internet site of the Lyrica Society for Word-Music Relations, an independent academic and artistic organization which investigates and promotes the myriad of interactions between text and music. Lyrica was founded by Dr. Louis Auld, Professor of French Literature at Central Connecticut State University in 1981. Since then, it has grown to include nearly 500 members in North America, Europe, Turkey and Japan. After serving as Editor of our peer-reviewed journal, Ars Lyrica, and as Secretary-Treasurer for seventeen years, Professor Auld retired from those posts, but remains active as an advisor to the Society's Executive Board. Lyrica welcomes literary, musicological and performance-practice research into word-music issues crossing all historical periods, and enveloping all musical and literary genres and cultural frameworks. Chronologically through the academic calendar, the Society is present at the annual conventions of the American Musicological Society, the Modern Language Association, the National Association of Teachers for Singing, and the National Opera Association (alternating biennially), the Renaissance Society of America, and the American Comparative Literature Association, where our seminar explores a special topic each year.

Our annual Lyrica Dialogues at Harvard are held each spring. ..“

"The world's authority on classical music since 1923"

“ Haymarket dominates classical music magazine publishing in the UK, and we’re increasing our influence internationally.

In the UK, the combined sales of Gramophone, the world’s most respected classical music magazine, and Classic FM magazine, published in association with the radio station, give us 63 per cent of the market.

Our presence extends still further through major events such as the annual Gramophone Awards, which have a significant effect on sales of the winning recordings. The glittering Awards ceremony attracts a Who's Who of the classical music world.

Gramophone regularly partners with many of the planet’s leading arts organisations and broadcasters, while Classic FM magazine’s monthly cover-mounted CD attracts a host of blue chip sponsors.

Now, with bespoke US, Korean and Chinese editions, Gramophone’s international reach is also growing significantly, and we’re planning a strong presence online.”
