A thorough biography is given beginning with the early years of André Jolviet’s youth. The biography is broken into six separate pages and highlights the important experiences from each year of Jolivet’s life. It includes information on his personal life as well as his musical life. Jolivet is presented as a summation of his experiences and achievements. The biography is not intended to be a narrative. Jolivet’s entire catalogue is listed by instrumentation, as well as a complete discography. There are no links to buy published music and there are no sound recordings or videos available to listen to his music. The Bibliography includes five different pages of sources written by or about André Jolivet. The first is the writings of André Jolivet, which includes the two books he’s written as well as music criticism published in several different music journals. Also included on this page is an Amazon link to purchase a collection of Jolivet’s writings, called Écrits. The second and third pages show a list of monographs and research publications with the most recent work from 2011. The last two pages are for encyclopedia articles and periodical articles. The Bibliography looks to be nearly comprehensive, although there still are a few sources from the last five years that aren’t included. The Photo Gallery offers a look into Jolivet’s life from a visual standpoint. It does not have any documentation like letters or manuscripts, but it does have five pages of pictures from different areas of Jolviet’s life. The Society portion of the website gives the information for where to find the physical copies of Jolivet’s manuscripts and other important documents. There is a specific subcategory of pages that include extensive history of Jolivet’s studies and musical associations during his life. Towards the bottom of the page there is access to information on upcoming performances of Jolivet’s works, CD reviews, and notes from past lectures on Jolivet. (Jamie Sharp)
