The Composers Project
Members of the High School Orchestra have researched and created this convenient online resource on composers. Our hope is to continue building our composer “database” each year. The composers are grouped by the period of music history that they belonged to. You’ll find a brief biography, types of music that they wrote, as well as a list of some of their more significant musical works.
Medieval (also called the Middle Ages) 450-1450
Renaissance 1450-1600
Baroque 1600-1750
Classical 1750-1820
Romantic 1820-1910
20th Century (also called Modern) 1910-Present
