Now with nearly ten thousand entries (almost doubling the previous edition), this new edition of Dr. John Henderson�s directory of published music composed for the pipe organ becomes the most comprehensive resource available. Arranged alphabetically by composer with works listed in chronological order, these entries are the most definitive listings yet published. Publishers are identified and their addresses appear in an appendix. What is more and like a biographical dictionary, life dates and biographies appear for most of the composers, celebrated and obscure, Aamodt to Zwaart. Nine appendices include an essay on buying music, a discussion of notable anthologies of music, an index of Bach's organ music by BWV number and inclusion or absence of each work in 13 "complete" editions, bibliography, glossary of uncommon terms and foreign language terms, a summary of composer nationalities, a picture gallery of composers. More than 900 pages. |
