Twentieth-Century American Music for the Dance: A Bibliography
provides a guide to one of the most important areas of modern
music. The close and mutually beneficial relationship that has
existed between dance and music from the early days of this century
and the collaboration of Fokine or Nijinsky and Stravinsky to the
later years and the partnership of Cunningham and Cage has yielded
a formidably large repertoire of music-much of it, like its
partner-art, in the vanguard of modern creativity. Dance
commissions have brought into existence music that would otherwise
not have been created; dance performance has in many cases afforded
an audience for music that would otherwise have gone unheard. Dance
has shown itself, especially in the United States, to be a
nurturing theatre for modern music, while music has in turn proved
to be extraordinary stimulus to the dance. This bibliography
provides for the first time data about compositions, composers, and
choreographers, including information about first performances,
publishers, and location of scores. Composers and choreographers,
students and historians, professional musicians and dancers, and
aficionados of music and art will find this reference work
extremely useful. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by
composer; indexes by composition and by choreographer provide ready
access to each work. Lists of composer-choreographer and
choreographer-composer partnerships are included.
