This thoroughly researched database will be of tremendous use to anyone studying or planning to perform Britten's songs. The comprehensive nature of the resource means that students cannot only access information about the works in isolation, but locate them in the rich, multi-dimensional context to which they belong. A great asset to Britten scholarship.

The Comprehensive Britten Song Database is a most welcome resource for all students and lovers of Britten's vocal music. While the site will be of great interest to all, it will be of enormous value to those beginning their love affair with the composer's art songs.

The Britten Song Database by Nicholas Perna and Mandy Spivak Perna should be on every singing teacher's bookmark list of important websites.

Best of all, it is free to all users and available worldwide via the internet. Thank you Dr. Perna and Dr. Spivak Perna, for creating this great resource.
