Proposal for New Work Types for Carnatic Music

Types of works list is barely a skeleton of what would be needed, even for occidental classical music. There was actually a recent post on this subject.

I guess that the issue is that if we tried to develop a complete list of types of works, for all music genres, we would end up with thousands of them. So not only would we need the complete list, but also a way to structure it so that it is useable by editors.

This is a huge work, especially given that to my knowledge there is no existing “taxonomy” of music works types.

In the meantime, I believe that we may use tags to indicate work types in a way which is simple and effective.
