Co-authored by James D. Brown (also known for A Biographical
Dictionary of Musicians) and Stephen S. Stratton, British Musical
Biography is an alphabetical reference work to the key achievements
of British musical artists, composers and authors from as early as
1042 AD to the end of the nineteenth century. It first appeared in
1897 as an experiment in publishing and was motivated partly by
patriotism on the part of the authors. It includes the names of
British composers and performers, their dates of birth and death,
brief biographies, and details of important works, their first
performance, and date of first publication. Interpreting their
brief to include the whole of the British empire, the authors have
included the names of well over 2,500 famous and lesser-known
musicians born in Britain and its colonies.
