Reviews
“The purpose of this handbook is to provide conductors; professionals, educators, and students, with a unique source that aids in locating, purchasing, and renting orchestral music. It is also intended to be used as a guide in programming concerts. In addition, orchestral librarians, music libraries, reference libraries, orchestra associations, academic ensembles, public and private school music programs, and college courses in conducting and orchestra literature, will find this valuable bibliography, along with appendices which give several programming suggestions.” – Dr. Alfred Pinkston, Florida Memorial College
