Any member of Global Musical Modernisms is able to create a new composer’s profile for a QTBIPOC composer. You will probably need to contact the composer in order to procure enough information for the resource document to be useful to music scholars and teachers. Below is a template for the resource document.

Contact email: (optional)

Biography: (required, no word limit) Include year of birth and pronouns.

Being a QTBIPOC composer: (optional) This is the composer’s statement on whether and how their lives as LGBTQ+/BIPOC people and as composers have intersected. This could be in terms of: a) how their music has been influenced by their being LGBTQ+/BIPOC people, in which case a description of one composition should be included in addition to a general statement. Or, this could be in terms of: b) how they have navigated their careers as LGBTQ+/BIPOC people. Or both a) and b). There’s no word limit on this statement, which would have to be written by the composer.

List of works: (optional, link to be provided) A link to the composer’s list of works is provided here. If necessary, you may request the composer to provide a list of works, for which you would create a Google Doc, and provide the link here.

Recording: (optional) A description of one of the composer’s works and a link to the recording will be shown here. Include information on how to purchase the score and/or recording, and provide links.

CV: (optional) A link to the composer’s CV is provided here. If necessary, you may request the composer to provide a CV, for which you would create a Google Doc, and provide the link here.

Composer’s website: (optional)

Resources: (optional) This could be e.g. other websites which contain reviews of the composer, academic articles about the composer. Pls provide the links and/or citations.

In addition, contact the composer to ask for their permission to include the full score of one of their compositions, which will be uploaded to the HC website under the “Files” tab:

https://hcommons.org/groups/global-musical-modernisms/documents/

If there is a recording for that composition, include that link as section 5 on the composer’s resource document. Global Musical Modernisms does not have institutional funding to purchase scores, so this part is optional, and we completely respect composers’s wish if they prefer not to upload their compositions. The reason for asking composers to allow us to do so is because music researchers and teachers are generally unable to teach about a composer in detail, and students are unable to conduct research on the composer, unless they have access to a score of one of the composer’s works.
