Grove Music Online, now Oxford Music Online

Grove Music Online - new look, better searching and, now, part of a new music gateway, Oxford Music Online. Grove Music Online is now the major source of a new online music gateway: Oxford Music Online. Oxford Music Online will be the access point for Grove Music as well as new and forthcoming Oxford music titles.

The new search interface is user-friendly, with better biography searching, topical subcategories to refine searching, and contents for the longer articles for easier navigation.
