Reviews

"This catalogue of themes with copious additional notes, covering 'all published and unpublished' works of Samuel Barber culminates years of extraordinary labor. Adding to her earlier definitive biography, Barbara Heyman here makes another gigantic contribution to our knowledge of a major American composer." --Thomas L. Riis, Director, American Music Research Center, University of Colorado at Boulder
"Barber's acclaimed biographer now gives us a catalog which is a panoply of information packed with exactingly researched detail. Everything needed by enthusiasts, performers and scholars now and into the future is punctiliously laid out--a magisterial centenary tribute." --Peter Dickinson, Emeritus Professor, University of London
"Masterfully done, the result of decades of painstaking research. It is highly recommended
for all post-secondary collections." --Fontes Artis Musicae
"This new book serves as a model for thematic catalogs of dominant 20th-century composers...Highly recommended." --Choice
"[A]n indispensable reference source and an exemplary model for this kind of work, especially as it pertains to twentieth-century and contemporary composers." --ARSC Journal
