Alec Wilder: A Bio-Bibliography Demsey, David and Prather, Ronald

One of the few American composers to earn an international reputation in both "classical" and popular music, Alec Wilder (1907-1980) was a true innovator in every phase of composition he pursued. His many hundreds of musical compositions, ranging from chamber and orchestral music, to opera and ballet, theatre and film, and art songs and popular songs, are documented here in an exhaustive catalog of works. Included are detailed performance information and cross references to recordings in a discography section and reviews and commentary in a fully annotated bibliography of writings by and about the composer. The book also includes a lively biographical sketch, a summary of archival materials at the Eastman School of Music, an appendix of awards, a directory of music publishers, a chronological list of compositions, and an index.
