Summary:

The first reference work to compile writings on dance music from periodicals, such as Dance Observer, Dance Perspectives, Modern Music, and Theatre Arts, that have not been digitized. The bibliography catalogs all writings pertaining to choreographic music in prominent American dance and arts periodicals spanning from 1914, the publication date of the first issue of Modern Dance Magazine, to 1993, after which many periodicals are digitized and can be accessed through academic research databases. These boundary dates also encompass in totality the work of the two twentieth-century choreographers who have received the most press coverage and scholarly attention: George Balanchine (1904-83) and Martha Graham (1894-1991).
