Description
Book SynopsisNow in its third edition, Latin American Classical Composers provides a singular English-language resource for biographical information on hundreds of composers from Central and South America and the Hispanic Caribbean. Gathered from a variety of sources, it fills the gaps left by other major English-language music dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Trade ReviewThis third edition of a book first published some 20 years ago includes 2,330 entries, substantially more than did its predecessors. New to this edition is a list of some 280 women composers. Of the 20 Latin American countries represented, the top five (Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, and Cuba, in that order) garner more than two-thirds of the entries. . . .[T]he third of edition of this hefty reference work will prove useful for those looking for basic information on the many Latin Americans who have composed for venues other than the pop/rock arena. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers. * CHOICE *
