-Compiled from numerous sources, including personal contacts, Dominique-René de Lerma's monumental Bibliography of Black Music, John Gray's Blacks in Classical Music, and Eileen Southern's classic Biographical Dictionary of Afro-American and African Musicians, this work includes 90 woodwind composers whose 430 musical compositions range from solos to works requiring up to 13 instruments. Limited to published works of 20th-century African-American composers, most entries include a very brief biographical sketch (a good starting point for researchers and students), a list of the composer's published works, and sources consulted. For ease of identification, the compilation lists African, Afro-American, Afro-Latin, and Afro-European composers separately. Includes a woodwind music index (conveniently arranged by categories of performing media), a discography of 38 recorded woodwind works by 26 of the 90 composers in this collection, and a very useful 68-item bibliography. Horne's admirable compilation stands alone, and is highly recommended to woodwind and ensemble players, conductors, music teachers, researchers, and libraries serving serious music patrons. —Choice
