**** One of the most celebrated references on the music of this century, cited in BCL3, Sheehy, and Walford. Beginning with January 1, 1900, it illuminates every significant day in music history, highlighting debuts, deaths, performances, and an abundance of entertaining music trivia. This edition revises and combines the 1971 fourth edition and its 1986 supplement with descriptive chronologies from 1985 through 1991. It retains the now classic preface to the fourth edition, the Letters and Documents section that includes letters to Slonimsky from Schoenberg, Ives, Varese, and George Bernard Shaw, and the Dictionary of Terms. This edition celebrates Slonimsky's 100th birthday (April 27th). Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This comprehensive volume offers a wide-ranging perspective on the stories that art music has told since the start of the 20th century. Contributors challenge the broadly held opinion that the loss of tonality in some music after 1900 also meant the loss of narrative in that music. To the contrary, the editors and essayists in this book demonstrate how experiments in approaching narrative in other media, such as fiction and cinema, suggested fresh possibilities for musical narrative, which composers were quick to exploit. The new conceptions of time, narrative voice, plot, and character that accompanied these experiments also had a significant impact on contemporary music. The repertoire explored in the collection ranges across a wide variety of genres and includes composers from Charles Ives and the Pet Shop Boys to Thomas Adès and Dmitri Shostakovich.

Entries (ranging from half a page to several pages in length) conclude with a short list of further readings, and about 100 are accompanied by a b & w photograph.
