Description
A Dictionary of Musical Information is a substantial reference work compiled by John W. Moore that serves as both a practical guide and historical record for musicians and music scholars. The volume contains extensive musical information alongside a complete vocabulary of musical terms, making it an invaluable resource for understanding 19th-century musical terminology and concepts.
The work’s most significant contribution is its comprehensive list of modern musical works published in the United States spanning from 1640 to 1875. This detailed catalog provides crucial documentation of American musical composition during a formative period in the nation’s cultural history. By cataloging these works, Moore created an important historical archive that traces the development of American music through more than two centuries.
Originally published as a hardcover volume, this dictionary remains an essential reference for musicologists, historians, and musicians interested in American musical heritage and period-specific terminology.
