Lexikon verfolgter Musiker und Musikerinnen der NS-Zeit

Das „Lexikon verfolgter Musiker und Musikerinnen der NS-Zeit“ (LexM) ist ein the­men­bezogenes, biogra­phisches Musiklexikon. Die in diesem Lexikon verzeich­neten Perso­nen gehörten zu den Betroffenen des NS-Terrors und waren bzw. sind Berufs­musiker. Ihr Leben, das ins Exil führte oder anderen Formen der Repression ausgesetzt war, muss vor dem Vergessen bewahrt, oftmals auch dem Ver­gessen ent­rissen und im musikkulturellen Bewusstsein der Öffent­lich­keit verankert werden (siehe zu den Einzelheiten das Vorwort ).

Damit das Lexikon von möglichst vielen Menschen benutzt werden kann, erscheint es on­line. Es ist für alle Interessierten frei zugänglich. Die Texte können unter Angabe der Quelle verwendet werden. Weitere Auskünfte sind über die am Musikwissenschaftlichen Institut der Universität Hamburg eingerichtete Arbeitsstelle zu erhalten.

This website is dedicated to celebrating the great composers of traditional Irish music. Many people don't realise that a large amount of the traditional Irish tunes commonly played were composed by known composers, many of them in the 20th Century and even more recently.

We intend to include any known composer who has made a lasting impact on the tradition. You can make a lasting impact with a whole body of work or even just one tune.

In order to qualify for inclusion the composer must meet one of these three criteria

(a) The composer has one or more tunes which are now part of the standard repertoire
(b) The composer has one or more tunes which have been played by musicians of note
(c) The composer or someone else has produced a collection of their music in printed form

Though he was Scottish, the great fiddler James 'Scott' Skinner had a strong influence on many Irish musicians and as a result some of his compositions are now part of the Irish tradition having been recorded by well known musicians and played in sessions.
