Geography of Music

Maps help illuminate the relationships among the various composers as well as connections between music and its broader historical and cultural context. In particular, they can show the importance of geography: the physical and cultural environments that influenced the music, from European capitals to the Americas. This is not a comprehensive atlas of music, but it will help connect some of our Keeping Score composers to each other and to the world around them.
