Esperanto music is music written, recorded, and performed in Esperanto, a constructed language intended for international communication. The term is sometimes also used to encompass music which refers to Esperanto in some way.

Classical music

Lou Harrison, who incorporated styles and instruments from many world cultures in his music, used Esperanto titles and/or texts in several of his works, most notably La Koro-Sutro (1973).
David Gaines used Esperanto texts for his Symphony No. 1 (Esperanto) for mezzo-soprano and orchestra (1994–98) and Povas plori mi ne plu (I Can Cry No Longer) for unaccompanied SATB choir (1994).
