Pronunciation site for non-English terms and composer names

on: August 19, 2007, 10:49:11 PM

Know of any?

I'm looking for a site that will have a short sound clip or two that tells you exactly how to pronounce terms and names that aren't in English.

Thanks!

contains written-out pronunciations of music words

International Phonetic Alphabet if that helps

And here's what you were looking for...
https://www.pronunciationguide.org/
A site for classical music radio announcers who don't want to look stupid. However, it's mainly names. Maybe there is a link to other music terms on that site? One link includes how to pronounce Tolken Elvish.
