Throughout the latter half of this century, American orchestras have placed increasing emphasis on performing compositions written by American composers, thus creating a demand for a comprehensive performance catalog of American orchestral compositions. Koshgarian aims to provide conductors, music directors, managers, and orchestra librarians with a practical and accessible source to meet that demand. The catalog, organized alphabetically by composer, represents approximately 900 American composers born within the last 100 years. The repertoire listed consists of over 7,000 works for orchestra, including concertos, orchestral works with chorus, orchestral works with vocal solo(s), and chamber orchestral works. Vital information is provided for each work listed; with appendixes and addresses.
