Created by Drew Schweppe and refined along with a select team of leading musicologists, performers, professors, and historians, Informusic
is the all-in-one music history and composer resource that means that
music students and classical music fans alike will now be able to access
a wealth of detailed musical history facts and information with just
the swipe of a finger. Now – even better – they can do so for just 99
cents (USD)! It’s the unbeatable holiday gift for classical musicians,
teachers, students, and fans worldwide.
Informusic
offers a huge array of detailed information on Western Art Music’s
greatest composers and compositions, from the Medieval era, through the
Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras – and with more expansions yet to
come. At the swipe of a screen, users can browse Informusic for
such useful and fascinating information as composer biographies, quick
facts, and complete works, along with program notes, sheet music, audio
samples, and suggested further scholarship.
Informusic
also features interactive timelines that enable users to scroll through
the chronology of a composer’s life and greatest achievements, helping
to contextualize musical events with other disciplines like art,
literature, politics, and beyond. Users can also curate their searches
with ease to filter by year, event type, or specific keywords. The app
is constantly updated with ever-expanding content and composers as well.
The Perfect Holiday Gift for Music Fans & Music Students:
“With our special holiday pricing to celebrate Informusic’s
launch, this means that anyone with a smartphone or iOS device can
explore centuries of classical music history for less than a dollar,
making it a fantastic gift or stocking-stuffer,” comments Informusic
founder and director Drew Schweppe. “Informusic is an
incredible resource for students and teachers, as it offers all of the
tools a music student requires for their music history courses in a
single app. But it also goes further – it’s a great gift for classical
music fans, too. For instance, if you hear a particular piece by
Beethoven at the symphony or on the radio, Informusic provides
you with an incredible amount of instantly accessible information
surrounding the piece, its composer, its influences and impacts, and
more.”
Schweppe was inspired to create Informusic
as a result of his intensive studies in music, while pursuing his
Master’s degrees in Music and Music Industry Leadership from City
University of London and Northeastern University (he also holds a
Bachelor of Music in Composition degree from Ithaca College). As he
became increasingly interested in music history, he quickly realized the
advantages a comprehensive music history app for iOS devices might
offer to performers, students and fans of classical music, and his quest
to create Informusic began – a goal that would take more than five years of exhaustive research and development to achieve.
Purchase Info and Technical Requirements:
Informusic
is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, and requires iOS
8.0 or later. To celebrate its launch this holiday season, it’s
currently available for a limited time through the New Year for just
$.99 at the Apple iTunes Store, at https://itunes.apple.com/us/
While Informusic currently features only Western Art Music, expansions for other genres such as Jazz are also in the works now.
