Composers in the Classroom is a bio-bibliographical dictionary,
chronicling the careers and work of over 120 composers associated
with conservatories, colleges, and universities in the United
States and Puerto Rico. Scholars and students of music seeking
critical information about composers who have taken on the mantle
of instruction will find a wealth of detail on their subjects.
Painstakingly obtained through direct correspondence with the
composers themselves, Floyd includes within each entry a short
biography of the composer's life and education, lists of previous
positions, most prominent commissions, awards and honors, and
notable performers of the subject's work. Each entry also contains
a discography of the recordings and a bibliography of writings by
the composer. Researchers will find especially useful the
organization of each subject's compositions by a variety of types.
These include vocal, choral/assembly, dramatic, keyboard, solo
instrument, handbells, chamber music, jazz ensemble, band and wind
ensemble, band and wind ensemble with solo instruments, orchestra,
orchestra with solo instruments, film/television/commercial,
electro-acoustic and multimedia, arrangements, transcriptions, and
editions and reconstructions. Music scholars will find under each
work not only the title and date of composition but also the date
of revision, commission, and dedication information, as well as
other pertinent details ranging from the names of collaborators to
alternate titles under which works may circulate. Composers in the
Classroom is an indispensable tool to scholars of modern music
seeking to research the current state of musical composition and
the compositional trends of the 21st century.
