(razdoblje objave i autori)This is a eight edition of Gorve dictionary which is online , the first
funder(author/editor) of The n Groove music dictionary is George Grove the British civil engineer,
biblical lexicographer, organizer of musical concerts, writer of program notes, music critic, and editor
of Macmillan’s Magazine  – accepted an invitation from Macmillan Publishers to create A Dictionary of
Music and Musicians to serve music professionals and a growing readership of well-educated lovers of
the arts, literate “amateurs” who cultivated music as a pastime. (time of the imperialism, promoting
culture placening European and british culture before other “colonian cultures” thow amateur
editors,building conters halls …)

J. A. Fuller Maitland, who had assisted Grove in preparing the dictionary, became editor of the second
edition, published in 1904 in five volumes,he established the name Grove’s Dictionary of Music and
Musicians (HE THRIED TO ENSAMBLE ALL THE WORK FOROM Grove and whrote a lot of music chritics on
his own)

The editor of the third (1927) and fourth (1940) editions of Grove’s was H. C. Colles, an organist,
graduate of Oxford, prominent music critic, and professor of music at the Royal College of Music in
London(knolidbe abut early 19 st geman music and English music , making arengament ,sažimao I

After nearly a century of Grove’s, the weight of tradition was almost palpable in the suite of rooms in
London’s Bedford Row occupied by editors of the 6th edition from 1970, led by Stanley Sadie. Following
publication of The New Grove, Sadie extended the contents in new collaborations with scholars, while
Macmillan sought strategies for recouping its unprecedented financial investment. Book-length portions
of New Grove contents and partly new “handbooks” (e.g., Analysis edited by Ian Bent and William
Drabkin, 1987;  Music Printing and Publishing  co-edited with D. W. Krummel, 1990) were sold in
partnership with W. W. Norton & Company, while Sadie developed projects to create separate New
Grove dictionaries of musical instruments (3 volumes, 1984), American music (co-edited with H. Wiley
Hitchcock, 4 volumes, 1986), jazz (edited by Barry Kernfeld, 2 volumes, 1988), opera (4 volumes, 1992),
and women composers (edited by Julie Anne Sadie and Rhian Samuel, 1 volume, 1994). Not all the new
material in these publications found its way into the second edition of The New Grove  (2001), edited
again by Sadie and co-edited in its later stages of production by John Tyrrell. Even so, this new edition
again expanded the contents by almost half, to 29 volumes. It had reached the point where the cost of
printing, binding, storing and shipping paper copies was prohibitive, and so concurrent with its release in
hard-cover, Macmillan converted the contents of The New Grove 2nd edition to a subscription-based
electronic document called GroveMusic accessed online. Sadie described the changes in content and the
challenges to the time-honored editorial process in an address to the Music Library Association annual
meeting in 2000, subsequently published as “The New Grove, Second Edition”, in MLA Notes 57/1
(September 2000) 11–20.

Laura Macy, an early-music scholar with a PhD from the University of North Carolina who had assisted in
the final years of preparing The New Grove  2nd edition. She overcame early “bugs” (such as the
computer program’s inability to read or convey diacritics, or missing titles from some articles), solved
problems with searching the contents, brought the contents of the opera and jazz dictionaries into the
electronic dictionary, migrated the full contents to a new “platform”, resolved myriad snarls, and
pointed the way toward maintaining the currency of the contents through timely updating. She
continued Macmillan’s print projects, publishing new books particularly in opera and a 2nd edition of
the jazz dictionary, and initiating second editions of the Grove Dictionary of American Music  (edited by
Charles Hiroshi Garrett, forthcoming in 2013) and Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments  (edited by
Laurence Libin, forthcoming in 2014), even after Oxford University Press took over the dictionary in
2003. She helped launch Oxford Music Online, including Grove Music Online as well as electronic
versions of other Oxford music publications.

Deane Root, an American-music scholar and librarian with a PhD from the University of Illinois, was
appointed Editor in Chief in 2009 and established an Editorial Board, who work with an expanded staff
of editors in the OUP office. This group of editors is the first to focus on Grove Music as a predominantly
online rather than print publication. They have prioritized the regular updating of articles – something
that was inconceivable in the print environment – by establishing the UpdateGMO program in 2009 to
encourage authors to keep their articles current and working with outside scholarly advisors to find
authors to revise articles by the nearly 30% of contributors who are deceased or no longer active. They
are also working to take advantage of the multimedia capabilities of the Website to enhance articles
with audio and video materials, bring thousands of new articles to the site in the next few years through
the incorporation of material from the print projects begun under Laura Macy’s tenure, and archive
replaced and complementary versions of articles so that they remain available to readers. In addition to
Web-based initiatives, they have targeted several areas for content development to address areas of
rapidly expanding research, including articles devoted to musics of Eastern Europe, and a large-scale
expansion of material covering global music and popular music.

Their goals are to create a product that builds on its more than a century of scholarship, that is able to
both anticipate and respond to the needs of scholars as well as those literate amateurs whom George
Grove sought to address, and to continue to improve its content and grow with the ever-changing
technological landscape. By working closely with scholarly societies and other outside scholars, they
seek to ensure that Grove remains not only a useful tool and an essential connection between scholars,
students, and a worldwide general public, but also a vibrant part of the musicological community, and
that the musicological community in turn remains at the heart of Grove Music for a long time to come.
