This file will be periodically updated as new information becomes available, so users may wish to return for updated versions of this file occasionally. Most recent version: October 27, 2020. At this time, the Feierabend Repertoire Database is primarily an analysis of the musical content of the pieces contained therein. And while a historical analysis of each song or rhyme has not been conducted, information shared by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of the Feierabend Association for Music Education has been included.
