The Sphinx catalog of Latin-American viola works
-
The Sphinx Catalog of Latin American Viola Works is the newest database offered by Strings of Latin America and the Sphinx Organization, and it is the most comprehensive source of its category, with more than 820 entries to date. The featured repertoire focuses on the music of Latin America that prominently features the viola solo repertoire, works for viola as a soloist with orchestra, duo repertoire with another instrument or electronic media, and viola ensemble. In addition, in consideration of the number of works written exclusively for viola, the catalog also offers a vast compilation of works for chamber music, in which the presence of the instrument is considered relevant and worthy due to the unique qualities of the musical language written and the sound of the instrument. The catalog displays the information using the criteria of composers’ name, gender, country of origin, date of birth, the works’ title, date of composition, duration, instrumentation, and editions. The readers can find further information about composers by clicking on the composer’s name (in progress). Although the catalog does not grant specific details on purchasing scores, it facilitates the search of them, recordings, and other sources by compiling all of this information into one comprehensive resource. When using the database, please be sure to include any non-English symbols in your search (such as í, á, ã, ñ, etc.). Also, note that the information does not reflect any strict order as it is continuously updated. We, therefore, encourage users to carefully review search results until the very end of the list.
