Stoneham, Marshall, Jon A. Gillaspie, and David Lindsey Clark. The Wind Ensemble Catalog. Music Reference Collection, No. 63. Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 1997.
-
Bibliography of wind ensemble music. Wind ensemble is defined as the modern orchestral wind section (2-18 instruments; i.e. Eastman Wind Ensemble).
-
The catalogue includes over 13,000 works by over 2,400 composers and arrangers. Coverage generally includes works for between five and fifteen instruments, which include at least one pair of wind instruments. Works for large concert and military bands, wind quintets or smaller groups of solo wings are excluded. Lost or ghost works are also excluded. When impossible to identify an arranger, the authors have not attempted to guess.
-
The work begins with a preface, a list of abbreviations, a guide to the catalog, a list of library and archive sigla, and alternative names and places. The main body of the work follows, which is divided into three principle sections. First, the Main Composer Sequence. Entries are listed alphabetically by composer or by arranger and provide the following information where possible: locations and shelfmarks, concordances to standard thematic catalogs, number of movements, instrumentation, and bibliographical information. Some entries are cross-referenced to the Wind Ensemble Sourcebook and the Wind Ensemble Thematic Catalog 1700-1900. The second section is Anonymous Works. Entries here are organized alphabetically by geographical region and include shelfmarks. The third section is Arrangements, which is organized alphabetically by the composer arranged. For each composer, pieces are listed chronologically. Entries include arranger's name, number of movements, and instrumentation. The work concludes with an appendix: Alternative Opera and Ballet Titles.
-
High percentage of primary sources(manuscipts). Includes shelfmarks when possible, modern editions of early works, and multiple versions of the same work (i.e.arrangements of Ballet or Opera). The preface is insightful and clearly documents where this work's research left off.
