Grove Music Online is pleased to announce their latest updates which includes 100 new articles from the forthcoming 2nd edition of the Grove Dictionary of American Music. The first edition published in 1986 is widely considered the definitive reference work on the subject, and while some of the topics in this update appeared in the first edition, all are completely new to Grove Music Online and have been updated for the second edition.
Articles in this update include entries on conductors, composers, educators, librarians, and subjects related to band music (instrument makers, bandmasters, and organizations). There are a few entries on social dance forms, including the boogaloo, walk-around, and eagle rock, as well as an extended article on the history of circus music in America.
