DRAM--Database of Recorded American Music, KSL's November's Research Spotlight!
CD quality audio, liner notes, essays streamed to your computer make it easy to research, teach, complete & enhance class assignments, and enjoy recorded American music!
DRAM, the Database of Recorded American Music, offers nearly 10,000 compositions for your listening pleasure, all searchable by composer, artist, ensemble, instrument, or record label. You can find Cole Porter (composer) to Cold Blue Mountain (record label), and musical instruments like bongos, rain sticks, or the tam-tam Chinese drums.
Each listening experience is enhanced by album art, song title lists, running times, and more: e.g., click on the composer Cole Porter, and then click on an album title to see the album, the song list, and data about the album. Liner notes give you a brief bio of the composer, industry quotes, and intriguing notes in "About the Songs."
DRAM is a Case-only resource, and works on all campus network computers. Remote access requires an active VPN session and your current Case username and password.
DRAM's Help link offers information technical requirements, and Intellectual Property statements on acceptable and prohibited uses for education and personal use (sections 5 & 6 are especially helpful.) Explore and enjoy the KSL November Research Spotlight!
