Thea Musgrave ranks among the world's foremost living composers, and is widely known for the warmth, humor, and theatrical qualities of her music. Donald L. Hixon has prepared the first and only substantial bibliographical treatment of the composer, and the only complete listing of her works, with the assistance of Musgrave herself. The volume includes a brief biography; a complete list of her works and premieres, together with other notable selected performances, classified by genre and arranged alphabetically by title; a discography of commercially produced recordings; and an annotated bibliography of writings by and about Musgrave and her music. In addition, appendixes provide alphabetical and chronological access to the composer's music. An index of names and titles completes the volume.

Gian Carlo Menotti is a composer known chiefly for his popular operas, including Amahl and the Night Visitors, The Medium, and The Consul. He also wrote a considerable amount of choral, instrumental and chamber music. This addition to the Greenwood Press series Bio-Bibliographies in Music serves as a reference guide to Menotti's career. A brief biographical sketch precedes a chronologically arranged bibliography of general writings by and about Menotti followed by a detailed list of works, alphabetically arranged. A bibliography of writings about specific compositions, complete with selected contemporary critical reviews, includes data on premiers and other significant performances and discographies of recordings. Opera music scholars, along with Menotti fans, will appreciate this detailed guide to available research materials. Intended as a scholarly resource, this volume also includes two appendices, a chronological list of works and a genre list of works. An author index and a separate performer index are provided.
