Description: "Derek Hulme's catalogue of the composer's works was first published privately in 1982. This third edition adds greatly to the information contained therein and brings it up to date. For each numbered work and all the known unnumbered compositions, Hulme provides a short description and lists the date of composition, the person to whom the piece was dedicated, and the forces the work employs.

The listings also include location of the autograph score, duration, arrangements of the work, premiere(s), an extensive list of recordings, and reference to bibliography items where the piece is discussed in detail. The entries are presented in order of opus number, with unnumbered compositions inserted appropriately within this chronological sequence."--BOOK JACKET.
