Book Overview
A unique guide for musicians who are seeking new material to perform
More than 400 pieces of music from the 17th century to the present day have been collected here, covering a very wide range of styles and nationalities. Under each entry details are given of numbers and types of performers required, the duration of the piece, its publisher, and availability of material and recordings. A description is supplied for each item with an asssessment of difficulty plus other specific guidance. Emphasis has been placed on works whose performance material can be purchased, to enable musical organizations to avoid the cost of repeatedly hiring music and allow them to build a library for the future. In addition to the choral and orchestral works a section on opera has been included with information on 30 works suitable for amateur and student performances. This book contains a wealth of information and will prove invaluable for musicians of all kinds wishing to widen their repertoire.
