- Abstract:
- This is the 2020 update of a comprehensive open-access annotated bibliography listing carillon scores by African American composers and/or based on African American music. While most of the items are published, a few are unpublished but in informal circulation, or are pending publication. Carillonists are invited to use this resource to identify music to perform and teach. Despite the length of this bibliography, there are currently only two published original carillon works by African American composers. The vast majority of items are arrangements by White composers, and most of these arrangements are of spirituals, revealing an essentialization of African American music that omits major genres (ex. jazz, soul, and rhythm and blues, to name a few) and freezes musical development in the 19th century. These imbalances point to a serious need for the commissioning of original works by Black composers, and particularly by Black women.
- Notes:
- The bibliography is updated yearly, and this is the 2020 edition.
