In A Conductor s Guide to Selected Baroque Choral-Orchestral Works,
Jonathan D. Green's sixth book-length contribution of guides for
conductors, he offers this companion to his critically acclaimed A
Conductor s Guide to the Choral-Orchestral Works of J. S. Bach. In
this volume, Green addresses works of the Baroque era from
Monteverdi through Bach's contemporaries. In addition to brief
biographical sketches for each composer, Green includes for each
work the approximate duration, text sources, performing forces,
currently available editions, locations of manuscript materials,
notes, performance issues, evaluation of solo roles, evaluation of
difficulty, and a discography and bibliography. Duration
information comes from a variety of sources, but Green turns to
actual recording times of performances. The purpose of this book is
to aid conductors in selecting repertoire appropriate to their
needs and the abilities of their ensembles. The discographies and
bibliographies, while not exhaustive, serve as helpful starting
points for further research. A Conductor s Guide to Selected
Baroque Choral-Orchestral Works should appeal to conductors in
supporting their concert programming. Librarians and music student
will also find this work an ideal reference title for the study of
Baroque repertoire."
