Abstract
The Britten Thematic Catalogue Project, currently underway at the Britten-Pears Foundation, aims to produce a fully integrated online resource presenting, for the first time, a complete chronological listing of Britten’s entire output both published and unpublished, including all juvenilia. Of the estimated 1,200 works to be included in the catalogue, approximately 735 constitute the composer’s juvenilia, the documenting and analysis of which has been the core aim of the project’s first stage over the past three years. The article outlines the bespoke technical and cataloguing solutions developed during this initial stage to deal with many of the challenges presented as a result of developing the first online thematic catalogue of this nature.
