About Oxford Dictionary of Music

An indispensable guide for all music lovers and performers, both amateur and professional.

The Oxford Dictionary of Music brings together an unrivalled collection of over 12,500 entries covering musical subjects of all kinds in an authoritative and accessible way. Included in this impressive work are entries on composers, performers, conductors, musical terms and forms, instruments, works, venues, and a host of other topics.

Containing 5,000 entries on composers, most of which include up-to-date worklists, The Oxford Dictionary of Music also provides entries on conductors, performers, directors, critics, producers and designers of international repute, writers and scholars. Entries also cover individual works, including operas and ballets, orchestras and companies from around the world, famous opera houses, concert-halls, and musical festivals. Musical terms and styles, as well as forms ranging from operatic, vocal, and film scores, to song cycles, chamber, hymns, barbershop, and oratorios are covered, as are general themes such as musicology, acoustics, and absolute pitch, and historical periods such as the Byzantine era. Entries also include a wide range of musical instruments, from the familiar - strings, wind, and brass - to the less familiar - aeolian harp, bamboula and sackbut.

This is terrible! I can not find any meaning of technical words for my exams. And I don't understand why we have to allow the app to see our photos and contacts just so we can go into the app if you don't allow then it comes the app down. It's rubbish and I do not recommend it!

I'm a little disappointed after installing this app. Normal everyday musical terms cannot be found. Example tenuto, martellato, presto etc. The Oxford dictionary in the past has been associated with lexicographical excellence. But this is a failure. Unless you can come up with something I will be deleting the app.

Stupid app! No items found for common Italian words of expression. What the he'll is it supposed to be for, anyway?

For $10 you get a useless app and no customer service. Look at the dates of the positive ratings and the negative ratings. If you can travel back in time to pre-April go for it.

Used to work but recently it refuses to open as an application. As a music teacher I've paid for the full version and now it is no longer working. Really disappointing as I needed a handy and trusted music dictionary for teaching on the go.

I do not like this app. I am a music teacher and wanted a tool to easily look up terms and musical concepts with students. I thought this app would be such a tool and I paid the $9.99 to get the pro version. The supposed upgrade changed nothing and I am upset because I asked the company twice for a refund and they have never even replied. Don't waste your time with this app.

the search function needs a little improvment

Z70%
by Z####:

It has none of the abbreviations so often found on sheet music- so I couldn't look up unknown terms. Also this "free app" is only a 30 day free trial loaded with annoying ads. Give it a pass.

M70%
by M####:

Search for a term and it shows no results. Scroll to the location myself and there it is. A dictionary without a search function is useless.
