This open-access catalog aims to present high-quality information about the musical works written by composer Florence B. Price. A digital catalog that can keep pace with the evolving landscape of Price performance and scholarship is essential to serve growing global interest in Price and her music.

Each catalog entry contains the following data (where known):

• Title
• Composition year
• Copyright Information
• Instrumentation
• Length
• Lyric author and source
• Manuscript sources
• Premiere performance
• Published editions
• Recordings
• Thematic incipits
• Bibliography

A distinctive feature of the project is a built-in thematic catalog with incipits programmed using the machine-readable structures of the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI). This data-driven approach enables the project to complement other ongoing digital initiatives that foreground composers from historically marginalized groups, including:

• Rebalancing the Music Canon created by Anna Kijas
• Music by Women created by Molly Murdock and Ben Parsell
