Eugène Bozza: A Thematic Index
No full textLois Kuyper-Rushing¿s Thematic Index of Works by Eugene Bozza addresses a longstanding need to offer a comprehensive view of the composer¿s oeuvre. Organized by work and thoroughly indexed, this book offers a unique view of the composer and his works.

The result is the fullest assessment of Bozza¿s efforts, since it covers all the published works and also music the composer left in manuscript.

Identifying uniform core journal titles for music libraries: A dissertation citation study
No full textIn an attempt to create a new tool to aid librarians in choosing music journals, citations from music dissertation bibliographies submitted in 1993 from across the United States were gathered and analyzed. Core lists of journals were developed and then compared to lists compiled by analyzing doctoral dissertation bibliographies in the field of music from a single institution. The journal lists from a national study differed from those derived from the study of journals used at a single institution. Also, newly published journals are used regularly by doctoral students in mu sic, and several are on the lists of core journals compiled. piraling subscription costs have forced libraries to review existing journal subscriptions, to cancel titles deemed least es sential by faculty, students, and other us ers, and to add new subscriptions whe

A Thematic Index of the Works for Woodwinds by Eugene Bozza (B. 1905).
No full textThe introduction to this thematic index deals with the life of Eugene Bozza. Bozza studied at the Paris Conservatory three times for three separate awards. In 1924 he graduated with the first prize in violin. In 1931 he was awarded the first prize in conducting and in 1934 he won the first prize in composition and the Premier Grand Prix de Rome. Bozza\u27s professional career included five years as solo violinist with L\u27Orchestre de Pasdeloup (1925-30), one year as conductor of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (1931-32), eleven years as Chef d\u27Orchestre at the Opera Comique (1939-1950) and twenty-five years as the director of the Ecole Nationale de Musique (1950-1975), Valenciennes, France. He composed works in a wide variety of genres throughout his career and into his retirement. The heart of the monograph is a thematic index of the works for woodwinds by Bozza, including unaccompanied solos, accompanied solos, etudes, duets, trios, quartets, quintets and larger chamber ensemble works. The first five chapters include works for solo instruments (solos and etudes) and the final four chapters are works for chamber ensembles. Within the chapters of solo instrumental music, the works are grouped by pieces for unaccompanied solo instrument, accompanied solo instrument and etudes collections. Within each of these groups and in the chamber music chapters, the works are arranged chronologically. Each citation consists of the title, publisher, date of publication, a brief description of the piece (e.g., number of movements, introduction, cadenza, etc.) and a brief musical example of each theme occurring in the piece. One of the more interesting aspects of Bozza\u27s compositions is his use of similar thematic material in two or more works. Appendix 1, a Concordance of Thematic Similarities, groups the works which have similar thematic material. In this section, one can locate a piece or etude for solo woodwind or woodwind ensemble by Bozza and determine what other pieces or etudes have similar thematic material
