In 2018, one of the first things we wanted to know was which pieces by women and BIPOC composers were already on state lists. Four ACU music students (Tiffany Bartgis, Jerremy Fender, Marissa Lietz, and Jacob Murillo) were selected to participate in an On the List undergraduate research project. They began by analyzing the Texas PML. This work was continued and expanded to include other states to find 661 unique works. Cory, Amy, and Brandon have compiled a list of music on state lists (we called it the List of Lists) and Rob Deemer had it organized nicely on the ICD website. The list has been removed and will be redone in time for the 2025 Midwest Clinic.
