A Catalogue of the Works of Ralph Vaughan Williams [Hardcover]

This revised edition of the standard catalogue of the music and writings of Vaughan Williams includes all known published and unpublished works, with full details of instrumentation, revisions, and first performances. There is much new information on the location of manuscripts and sketches, and there are many corrections to the information and dates given in the previous text. The volume includes a bibliography of the literary writings of Ralph Vaughan Williams compiled by Peter Starbuck, and an appendix of folk songs collected by Vaughan Williams.

Offers the musically curious undergraduate or general reader far more than one might expect!...The result is a work unexpectedly bothutile et dulci, something of a browser's joy for anyone prepared to be seriously interested in this temporarily out-of-fashion, yet really quite important, composer. --Choice

[Kennedy's] exposition on the composer's life and music is both comprehensive and superlative. --Choral Journal
