The Database Music OFM Portugal aims to provide specialised researchers with a list of online entries of musicians and composers from the Portuguese Franciscan Order, including their biographical information and musical production.
The database also aims to provide images of musical manuscripts, scores, and audio-visual files whenever they exist, are available, and do not interfere with legal copyright. In cases where rights restrictions apply, the presentation of images will be limited to the first pages or initial moments of the recordings.
In addition to Portuguese Franciscan musicians and composers, the database will include Franciscans of other nationalities and secular musicians who have resided or stayed for significant periods in the various Portuguese Provinces of the Franciscan Order and have significantly contributed to the Order's musical activity.
The database plans to include the Luso-Brazilian area during the colonial era, a field of intense missionary action due to the several Portuguese Franciscans who crossed the Atlantic to evangelise Brazil.
