Stubblebine, Donald J. Broadway Sheet Music: A Comprehensive Listing of Published Music from Broadway and Other Stage Shows, 1918 - 1993. Jefferson, North Carolina and London: McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, 1996.
-
Provides a history of songs, composers, lyricists, and publishers for the historian and makes Broadway songs published in any format more accessible to the musician.
-
As stated in the preface, this book indexes all published songs (by any composer) from live musical stage productions on or off Broadway, 1918 through 1993.
-
Commences with a preface and a section on how to use the book. The most extensive section is an alphabetized listing of musical stage productions. Each entry contains the production title, production type, opening date, names of two leading performers, song titles and publisher information, composer, lyricist, comments (i.e. on the success or failure of the play) and descriptions on the covers of published songs from the play. Entries are concise, yet quite comprehensive. This section is followed by an appendix that lists collectors' groups, a bibliography, a lyricists and composers index and a Repertory Guide--Vocal.
-
Good indexes which cross-reference by entry number. Extensive coverage of stage productions includes nightclub productions, regional and college plays, touring army productions etc.
