05. How to Create a Composer Page

Anna Kijas edited this page Mar 15, 2023 · 1 revision

Each composer will need to have their own file within the texts folder in the repository.

Use the name of the composer that appears in the library record (in JumboSearch) associated with their composition. If there are spelling discrepancies or variants you can check the Library of Congress Name Authority File or the Virtual International Authority File. You can also use these resources to check their birth/death dates.

At the top of each composer page you need to include these five elements. You will only need to add info about the composer in these elements: title, century, and permalink.


layout: page
title: Last Name, First Name (Dates)
category: incipits
century: number
permalink: /lastname/

  • Check if there is a Wikipedia page or a professional website for the composer.
  • If there is a public domain image in Wikipedia, click on the image and then more details to view the file. Go to "use this file on the web" to view the embed code and then insert the full embed code below the five elements. Here is an example of a composer page.
  • Below the image (if available) you will include this text "Learn more about this composer at (insert a link to the composer's wikipedia or professional page (if one exists)."
  • Include the entire section "Works with Incipits" you will need to replace the text "Last Name, First Name" with the actual last name and first name of the composer
