Composer Catalogues: Orchestral and Choral/Orchestral Music

[Dundonnell]

OK.

Questions ;D

Is Weinberg a Russian composer ???

Is Paul Juon a Swiss composer ??? ???

[Christo]

Both are 'Russian' - in the often complex meaning of that qualification.  ;D

[Dundonnell]

The Country-by-Country Index of Composer Catalogues is now online at composers.gulabin.com  :) :)

It is complete and up to date (except for poor Franz Reizenstein: I can't make up my mind where to put him ::)) and is the first file on the site. It runs to sixteen pages.

The site is also now linked to my own website at www.gulabin.com

Absolutely marvellous! I'm currently listening to the Louis Glass Symphony downloads via this same website. Thanks to Dundonnell,I can look up his all his orchestral compositions & any available recordings on his splendid website,in the twinkling of an eye! In other words,I sit here,with my feet up, supping my bedtime tipple,listening to music while you do all the back breaking slog! What more could a music lover want?!!Cheers! ;D

Seriously,thank you very much! :)

[Dundonnell]

I love the research/work ;D And if the outcomes are of use to others then that is very welcome and satisfying :) :)

[cilgwyn]

Indeed! Keep it up! I can't help wondering whether the powers that be behind a certain other forum might experience a need to make use of them!! ;D
I must say,you certainly have allot to do! There are allot of composers out there,both alive & deceased! By gum,I can actually remember a time when Havergal Brian was an exotic sounding name! ;D

[Dundonnell]

I would just like to take this opportunity again to thank all those members who point out additions to the works I list as on cd in my catalogues and to those who point out errors :) :)

I cannot emphasise enough how grateful I am to those who obviously take the trouble and time to scrutinize these lists so carefully :)

As you will perhaps realise I am working my way alphabetically through those composers whose music is available on here for download. There are a few composers however who defeat my best efforts to construct a workliist of any substance or value.

To avoid double work you cataloguers should check the French Classical Music Forum http://musiqueclassique.forumpro.fr/ as well. Some members there do the same work. No every entry of the more than 2000 topic in the subforum "Les compositeurs" contains a complete work list, but many do. So worth to check out.

Best,
Tobias

[Dundonnell]

Thank you for that link, Tobias :)

It is extraordinary (well, maybe not ;D) that in this time of the global internet and a rapidly shrinking world the French should seem to stay quite apart, refuse to participate in English-speaking forums, like this, and maintain a quite separate, independent web presence. We have at least three active members from Germany on this forum whose command of the English language is absolutely perfect.....but, as far as I know, no-one from France has ever made themselves known either at GMG, UC or here :(

. . . I posted catalogues of the Orchestral Music of around 300 composers in the Composer Reference Section of that forum.

Rather than attempt to copy each and every one of these onto this forum......which would be (a) enormously time-consuming and (b) somewhat presumptuous of such a brand new member.....

Not at all . . . Please don't hesitate if you would like to do it!

I have added an Introduction to my Composer Catalogues at composers.gulabin.com

In that Introduction-which was long overdue-I hope that I have properly acknowledged my sources of information. I have noted the assistance I have received from other members of this forum-and that applies particularly to the work already done by Albion and kyjo :) :)
