Goodfellow, William D. SongCite: An Index to Popular Song. Garland Reference Index of the Humanities, vol. 1918. New York and London: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1995.
-
Serves as an index to recently published collections of popular songs.
-
Presents information on music that was published after 1988. Music included in this index must have popular appeal and not be indexed elsewhere. Focuses primarily on rock, country, musical show and popular standards, but also includes some jazz, folk, holiday and gospel music.
-
The work begins with a preface, then divides into four sections: Collections Indexed, Index to Titles/First Lines, Index to Composers, and Musicals, Motion Pictures, Television Shows. The first section organizes entries alpha-numerically by title of song collection and includes a bibliographic citation, the number of songs in the collection, and the instruments for which they can be played. The second section alphabetically integrates titles and first lines. Entries include a number that corresponds with one of the collections indexed in the first section. The third section arranges entries alphabetically by composer and includes a list of songs written by said composer. The final section organizes entries alphabetically by title of musical, film, or television show, and includes a list of songs featuring in said production.
-
The index to composers doesn't cross-reference immediately to the collection in which the composer's work is published. If all you know is the name of the composer, you are first referred to the index of first lines and song titles that then refers you to the collection.
