Yeats-Edwards, Paul. English Church Music: A Bibliography. London, New York, Sydney and Toronto: White Lion Publishers Ltd., 1975.
-
A selected bibliographic source for English church music from fifteen hundred through the twentieth century.
-
Only English imprints of church music beyond fifteen hundred are included. Entries include books, pamphlets, tracts, as well as published or unpublished thesis. They do not include periodical articles. The bibliography focuses on worship music in the church, not sacred music such as oratorios that are not church music but dramatic music. The publishing date is 1975, so the volume may be dated.
-
The book includes a brief summary of historical aspects of English Church music as well as a summary of events located at the beginning of the book. Entries are arranged numerically and indexed alphabetically at the end of the book. Entries include author, title, publisher and date, page numbers, and sometimes a brief abstract. The book is divided into the following sections: 1) Bibliographical; 2) Historical; 3) Biographical; 4) Choral; 5) Theological and Theoretical; 6) Liturgical; 7) Musical; 8) Practical; 9) Fictional. Under each section is a subcategory labeled A, B, C, etc. The book is cataloged by subject, and under subject, by author with a few exceptions: Part 2B is arranged chronologically; Part 2C and 2D, date of imprint; Part 3A, alphabetical order of the name of the biographee; Part 7E, by the name of the hymnal.
-
Entries are divided into subcategories for easier access.
-
Although the author claims this is a selective bibliography, the subject is extremely broad, making coverage questionable.
