Fifteen Black American Composers: A Bibliography of Their Works

Alice Tischler, Carol Tomasic

Information Coordinators, 1981 - Biography & Autobiography - 328 pages

This book is intended to fill an important gap in the reference literature on American music. Black composers constitute a significant segment of art music in America; yet little of their large output is generally known. The present bibliography will at least make available such knowledge about a small group of men and women writing in recent decades.
