The homepage is also the Biography tab. Within the Scores tab, works are divided into organ, vocal, and instrumental music. Each list begins with a “New” section of recently available music, in chronological order. These works are also found in the “All scores” section immediately following. All scores are listed in chronological order. For each work, the title, date, image of the cover (when available), instrumentation/voicing, brief description, often the duration, and a link to the publisher’s website (if applicable), are given. Recordings are divided by type of media (CD, DVD, microsillon). Each list is organized chronologically, with the exception of the list of CDs, which first has a list of newly available recordings (also listed chronologically). Clicking on an album cover leads to its individual page with information including album title, record label and number, track list or a description, and name and website for the editor. Publications are divided into the following categories: Monographs, Periodical articles, and Research Publications. The works are organized within each category in reverse chronological order. Information given includes title, author, description, language, editor, pages, image of the cover, and website for the editor/publisher. There is an Events page with past and upcoming performances and conferences listed chronologically by month. Each event includes the date and time, name, location, and description. The final two tabs are links to the Jean Langlais Centenary website and to the author’s email (via the mail app). Links to the author’s website and email are included on the bottom of each page.
