Book Description

July 28, 1999
Vocal chamber duets for female voice are some of the most beautiful and pedagogically useful vocal literature. Nevertheless, they are often overlooked because of difficulty procuring them. Many vocal catalogues do not specify duet literature, and existing catalogues and appendixes addressing duet literature are limited.

This catalogue contains 8,800 entries representing over 2,000 composers. It enables interested parties to access titles and composers of works with information pertaining to specified voice parts and publisher. Works are accessible by composer and by title of work. They are also searchable through opus or piece number, voices specified, and accompaniment if other than piano. The catalogue also provides comments significant to each work, cross-reference tables that specify the voice types listed, and the language of the work. Appendixes list composers and publishers, and an Index of Song Titles makes all of the works easy to locate.

The Catalogue provides singers, students, teachers, coaches, and accompanists with information that will help obtain specific chamber music duet literature for female voices. Music historians may also benefit from this volume which includes many composers who have contributed to this vast genre.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

An extremely valuable and user-friendly reference tool for an important repertory, this catalog lists nearly 9000 works alphabetically by composer, covering title, opus number, voices, and publisher. The appendixes list all composers included and also provide a separate list of women composers, publishers' addresses, a breakdown of anthology contents, and cross listings according to voice specification, language, and accompanying instrument. Introductory notes include an overview of the chamber duet and pedagogical advice along with extensive discussions and analyses of the literature. In short, this source contains everything you could possibly want to know about female vocal chamber duets. Essential for serious reference libraries.ATimothy J. McGee, Univ. of Toronto

Review

This valuable catalog will be a welcome reference tool for singers, their teachers, and their collaborators. (Arba )

Here, finally, is the "definitive" catalog of duet literature for female voices containing 8,800 entries, representing over 2,000 composers...This catalog provides an extremely detailed resource for those researching music in this now, more specific category. (The American Organist )

Newman argues convincingly for the artistic, technical, and pedagogical benefits of duet singing... To that end, her ambitious work provides a central source for duet literature for female voices... and can be enthusiastically recommended for institutional libraries and reference collections. (Journal Of Singing )

This must be the ultimate word on just about everything composed for women's voices as duets. This is a very useful reference work for any library. It will be invaluable to voice teachers, choirs, and musicologists. Many church musicians will also find it an excellent tool for locating and developing creative repertoire. Highly recommended. (Pastoral Music )

These surveys are informative and well researched...The index's references are reliable...the catalog provides access to repertory, and will help performers and scholars identify duet music and supporting literature. It is appropriate for larger libraries supporting vocal studios. (Notes )

An extremely valuable and user-friendly reference tool for an important repertory...Essential for serious reference libraries. (Library Journal )
