Fidler and James have edited a guide that characterizes and
evaluates, in depth, the leading journals throughout the musical
professions. The listings number some 170 titles, selected for
their historical as well as contemporary significance. . . . [T]his
guide makes a significant contribution to the literature and is
recommended for all academic libraries. Choice International Music
Journals is an international and cross-disciplinary guide to
periodical literature in music. It deals not only with scholarly
journals, but with those journals important to the music
profession, from flautists and theorists, to musicologists and
educators. Thus, in addition to journals representing the
traditional fields of music scholarship (musicology,
ethnomusicology, theory, therapy, and education), those
publications important to various areas of music performance,
composition, popular music, discography, and librarianship are
included. Within this broad scope, approximately 200 of the most
important titles are treated extensively. Each entry addresses five
general aspects of the journal: historical background (founding and
intent, editors, publishers, frequency, title, and title changes);
physical description (format, illustrations); contents (subject
area(s), scope, features, special issues); critical assessment
(intended audience, level and quality, editorial policy, impact,
innovations, outstanding issues, and articles); and bibliography
(external indexes, reviews of or articles on the journal). In
addition to the major entries, the book also features an
introductory essay on and bibliography of the history of music
periodicals; an appendix of significant journals inaugurated since
1980; a chronology; biographical notes on the contributors; and an
extensive index by title, title variants, editors, general topic,
geographical region, and publisher. This will be an essential tool
for everyone interested in any aspect of music.
