Synopsis
The New Everyman Dictionary of Music has long been regarded as one of the finest and most comprehensive one-volume reference works on music. Now thoroughly revised, it provides an outstanding guide to the world of music. As well as biographical information on composers, performers and others concerned with music, the dictionary lists individual works, instruments, orchestras, and musical terms, forms and influences and styles. All musical life is here, from "ArS Antiqua" to "Zeffirelli", "Castanets" to "Castrati", and "Kyrie Te Kanawa". Technical terms are explained with the help of music examples. In revising the dictionary David Cummings has aimed to retain and strengthen its invaluable historical elements whilst bringing it completely up to date by writing over 1500 new entries. The result is a mine of musical knowledge for students, musicians and all music lovers.

From Library Journal
First published in 1947, The Everyman Dictionary of Music has evolved into an authoritative and comprehensive source of information for a broad range of readers. Cummings has insured its continued usefulness with 1500 new and 1000 updated entries, a list of operatic roles and composers, dates of significant compositions, and coverage of many performers. Aside from the questionable analysis of the "Tristan Chord," the only apparent weakness of the work is its lack of bibliographic references, for which the reader may wish to consult a comparable volume, i.e., J.A. Westrup and F.L. Harrison's The New College Encyclopedia of Music (Norton, 1981). Recommended.
