Encompassing both the art song and Lieder traditions, this book includes comprehensive lists of the compositions of 125 major Western composers, the identities of the poets who wrote the lyrics, titles used by respective composers with cross-references from variant titles used by other composers, cross-references from the first lines, the publishers of the individual songs, the location of individual songs within the collected works of individual composers and the date of composition. With this resource, a reader can find
the songs written by a composer, who published a specific song, and which composers might have set a particular poem to
music. Bradley's guide offers a user-friendly, contemporary
index of information for which scholars previously had to search extensively. Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2004
