INDEX TO MUSIC NECROLOGY* Compiled by BARBARA HENRY

This index appears annually in the June issue. It can be used to complete an author's dates on catalog cards and to note the date and place of death in the margins of dictionaries and encyclopedias. The "Supplement to 1977 Necrology" lists those deaths that occurred in 1977 but for which the notices appeared too late to be included in the June 1978 issue of Notes. The "Supplement" also includes corrections for any mistakes that were discovered later. In both the 1977 necrology supplement and the 1978 index, the publication year of the magazine or newspaper in which an obituary appeared is 1978 unless otherwise noted. Double vertical lines (D separate the magazines from the references to dictionaries and encyclopedias containing articles on the deceased. For dictionaries and encyclopedias with supplements, the supplement is indicated if a biography appears only there and not in the main body of the source. This applies to AME, Baker, Feather (Jazz in the Sixties, Jazz in the Seventies), Grove, MGG (A-Rau), and Riemann.

The preparation of this Index was very much a cooperative effort this year. I want to thank particularly my colleagues in the Music Division, Barbara Costelloe and Rodney Mill. Special thanks also go to Patsy Felch at the Northwestern University Music Library, who compiles the obituary column in each issue of their 1810 Overture.

*Users of the index will note the inclusion of quite a few obituaries which appear only in sources other than the "Periodicals Indexed." It has occurred to me that other periodicals, particularly in the jazz and pop area, might prove more fruitful than many of the rather obscure listings in the

journals which have been used for this index. I would appreciate your comments. I would also like to know how useful the inclusion of the citations to dictionaries and encyclopedias really is.-Comp.
