Abstract:
Donald Homuth, cellist and Professor Emeritus of Music at San Jose University, began work on his bibliography of twentieth- century cello music during a sabbatical leave in 1974. Now, twenty years later, his work has come to fruition. The duration of the project is matched by the extent of the materials covered; the volume lists more than 5,200 works by 3,100 different composers. To organize this mass of information, Homuth has devised eighteen categories based on instrumentation, ranging from the 2,119- item "cello and piano" section to the 10-item list for cello and accordion. Other categories include cello and harpsichord; organ; harp; guitar or related instrument; percussion; tape or electronics; orchestra; chamber orchestra; string orchestra; wind orchestra; ten to nineteen instrument chamber works; two to nine instrument chamber works; nonwestern instruments; non-instrumental accompaniments (i.e. dancer, narrators, chorus, etc.); and miscellaneous. This arrangement should make it easy for a cellist to find a piece for even the most challenging of instrumental combinations.
