MARCIA J. CITRON is Associate Professor of Musicology at Rice University.
?Citron, an expert on 19th-century women composers, does a thorough
study of Cecile Chaminade in this volume. The book begins with a
short scholarly biography of the composer, the first of its kind on
Chaminade, based on various primary sources and interviews with
surviving relatives. Previous biographical dictionary entries have
been filled with errors. The biography is followed with a list of
the composer's works, including dates and places of premieres and
early performances, if known. A discography and a 479-item
annotated bibliography end the main body of the volume. The
bibliography includes concert announcements, contemporary reviews,
dictionary entries, writings by Chaminade, and obituaries. The
entries are arranged chronologically rather than alphabetically,
providing an interesting picture of the musical world's awareness
of the composer. The volume ends with useful alphabetical and
classified lists of works and a summary of archival resources. The
book is a valuable asset for both undergraduate and graduate
students interested in Chaminade. It would also be a time-saving
resource for scholars writing lengthier biographies.?-Choice
