Summer 2010 update:
Oxford University Press is pleased to announce that the latest update to Grove Music Online is now available at www.oxfordmusiconline.com

As part of the ongoing development of contemporary music coverage in Grove, this update includes the following new and revised biographies:
- Michael Finnissy

American Music
This update also adds 200 new articles from the forthcoming second edition of the Grove Dictionary of American Music, edited by Charles Hiroshi Garrett. The first edition (1986) is widely considered the definitive reference work on the subject, and while some of the topics in this update appeared in the first edition, all are completely new to Grove Music Online and have been updated for the project.
This AmeriGrove update focuses primarily on music education and 19th-century music, both areas the AmeriGrove editors are committed to expanding. It also includes entries on film music, organ music, Hispanic/Latino music, and literary figures involved with American music. Two significant topical articles to highlight include Afro-Caribbean Music and Portuguese-American Music.

Grove Updating Program
This major program to update articles in Grove Music Online is an ongoing priority for the Grove editorial team at Oxford University Press. New print projects and targeted online-only projects provide updates to hundreds of entries each year, but with over 50,000 entries online, maintaining Grove must be a joint, ongoing effort between the scholarly community and the publisher. On behalf of Editor in Chief Deane Root, OUP invites you to participate.
- Submit updates to articles
- Suggest corrections, revisions, or new articles
- Tell us what you think
The editorial team is actively reaching out to Grove contributors for corrections, updates, and suggestions for revisions, and we also flag entries that should be regularly revisited. We have over 5,000 authors to contact, and the contact information for many is out of date. If you are a previous contributor, we encourage you to get in touch. We also welcome any other suggestions or feedback from readers.
Two major articles that were updated recently by their original author through this program include “Exoticism” and “Orientalism.”
