The following is a guide for recommending how to create a list of compositions for a composer.

Notes

This article is written by William and the future administrators of pipe-organ.wiki and is protected. It does not adhere to the reference-based style of the rest of the wiki but instead contains our original thoughts about how composition tables should be created.

This article contains examples of composition lists from real composers. They have been edited for brevity and the references have been removed to not clutter this article's references list. Refer to the articles about these composers for a more up-to-date composition list with references.

Examples

The following are a few small and basic examples of how to style your composition list.

Early Music

For early music composers, especially those where there are not many works published by them and most works survive in handwritten copies, a table that includes the sources themselves may be the best option.

Organ works by Arnold Matthias Brunckhorst
Source Title Incipit Notes ref.
D-LEm Becker II.2.51 part 5, p.16-19 Praeludium / ex E. m. / A. m. Brunckhorst Prelude

Modern Music

For modern composers who have published most of their works, a table including the year composed or opus number (if available) would be a good option.

Organ Works by Maurice Duruflé
Op. Title Incipit Notes Published Ref.
2 Scherzo
<< \relative g { \key f \minor \time 3/4 \clef bass <g a e'>2 <e g a>4~2 <g a e'>4 } \\ \relative g, { <g c>2.~2.\laissezVibrer } >>

Other

For a composer which fits both of these categories (such as an early composer with some published works and others in copies), it may be a good idea to have both types of tables instead of trying to combine them into one.
