Compiled by the International RILM Center, RILM* Abstracts of Music Literature is the world's
largest, continuously updated bibliography of music literature, providing broad international
coverage including records in 140 languages from 3,700 journals. There is no better single
source for exploring the world of music, from Western and Eastern classical to pop, folk, and
jazz.
Over 400,000 abstracts are drawn from articles, books, conference proceedings, bibliographies,
catalogues, dissertations, festschriften, iconographies, critical commentaries to complete
works, ethnographic recordings and videos, reviews, etc. Sponsored by the International
Musicological Society, the International Association of Music Libraries, and the International
Council on Traditional Music, RILM documents the music scholarship of some 60 countries.
(*RILM is an abbreviation of Répertoire international de littérature musicale.)
