Motivation[edit]

Living Music Database (Q121583998) is "a resource for classical music listeners to discover more recent works by composers who have created music in the last half-century." The site includes information about composers, links to their Wikipedia pages, official websites, and iTunes and/or Spotify pages. It also has links to information about their recorded works and streaming recordings through iTunes and Spotify. AdamSeattle (talk) 04:50, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
