Thea Musgrave - A Bio-Bibliography

Thea Musgrave ranks among the world's foremost living composers, and is widely known for the warmth, humor, and theatrical qualities of her music. Donald L. Hixon has prepared the first and only substantial bibliographical treatment of the composer, and the only complete listing of her works, with the assistance of Musgrave herself. The volume includes a brief biography; a complete list of her works and premieres, together with other notable selected performances, classified by genre and arranged alphabetically by title; a discography of commercially produced recordings; and an annotated bibliography of writings by and about Musgrave and her music. In addition, appendixes provide alphabetical and chronological access to the composer's music. An index of names and titles completes the volume.
