Pronouncing Dictionary of Music and Musicians view detail comment email this

This dictionary provides some help in "pronouncing the titles of classical music and the names of composers and performers" in "the form of pronunciations by a phonetic system devised by E. Douglas Brown of the staff of WOI Radio at Iowa State University." The browsable dictionary provides more than 30,000 entries. Unfortunately, it is not searchable, and there are no audio files.
