- Summary:
- The Enoch Pratt Free Library has systematically collected and indexed song books since it opened in 1886. Ten years ago, the editor of this volume undertook the monumental task of combining all previous efforts into one definitive and up-to-date reference work. The Index features over 150,000 citations that lead users to over 2,100 song books spanning more than a century, from the 1880s to the 1990s. It encompasses a remarkably wide variety of books that is one of the largest such collections in the country. The songs cited represent a multitude of musical practices, cultures, and traditions, ranging from ethnic to regional, from foreign to American, representing every type of song: popular, folk, children's, political, comic, advertising, protest, patriotic, military, and classical, as well as hymns, spirituals, ballads, arias, choral symphonies, and other larger works. This comprehensive volume also includes a bibliography of the books indexed; an index of sources from which the songs originated, such as musicals, television shows, commercials, movies, and oratorio; and an alphabetical composer index.
