The Great Song Thesaurus - Roger Lax & Frederick Smith
Out of Print title.
RRP $377.95!
Hardback book in perfect condition.
774 pages!
For those who want to know who wrote what when, this is a treasure. Unfortunately out of print, but used copies can be found. Nothing else quite like it exists, and essential for anyone seriously interested in American popular music.
"Great" is the operative word here. Originally published five years ago this thesaurus-almanac-index-encyclopedia smorgasbord of popular American and English song information quickly became a reference mainstay, and the revised second edition is another cornucopia. The arrangement is virtually identical to the original but coverage has been extended through 1986 and increased somewhat to 11,000 songs. Among its ten sections, most notable are the year-by-year inventory from 1558 to 1986 of significant songs, the listing of songs delineated by performance medium (theater, film, radio, and television); the thesaurus of songs by subject, key word, and category; and, especially, the 258-page alphabetically arranged song-title catalog listing composer, lyricist, year of popularity, and recording artists. A new addition is the key lyric line index, which extracts 3025 tag lyric lines and the songs from which they are taken. Expensive, but an important acquisition for all libraries.
