Reviews
This volume is a welcome addition to the literature....Large collections on American music, and any collections concerned with band or wind music, will benefit from the inclusion of this title. With so little in print on this respected and popular composer of twentieth-century band music, this will be the resource to consult.—American Reference Books Annual
