New Reference Tool for Orchestral Pops Music

The Music Library recently received Orchestral "Pops" Music: A Handbook, by Lucy Manning (Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2009). It uses the same format as the familiar orchestral music resource, Orchestral Music: A Handbook, 4th ed., by David Daniels. Works are listed in alphabetical order by composer. Five appendixes index the contents by "instrumentation," "duration," "themes," "title," and "publishers and sources," respectively. This resource can be found in the Music Library reference collection under call no. MUR ML128.O5 M36 2009.
