-
A place to learn about the composer Malcolm Arnold and his life, works, and legacy.
-
The authors of this site have included only the most accurate and relevant information as possible about Arnold. There are not any specific points of criteria listed but this is obvious by the official quality of the site and information.
-
The first thing the reader sees when they type in the URL is a picture of Arnold which shows that the entire focus of this website is on him. Once you click on this picture, you are taken to a home page with many other pages branching off of it. These subcategories include Biographical Information, News and Events, Performances, Compositions, Recordings, Multi-media, Publications, Contact Information, and a site search. The most notable research tools in this website include a thematic catalog under Compositions, that is further divided into genre for easy browsing, a discography of his works that have been recorded, a selected bibliography, and a page of reviews. Another feature of the site is the wide array of sound and video clips under Multi-media of interviews and performances associated with Malcolm Arnold.
-
The navigation of the website is very easy to use because each page is listed clearly across the top of the main page and a reader can see the important features of the page from the first glance. The Contact section is a great place to find contact information for publishers, record companies, and societies that deal with and distribute Arnold’s work.
