Dictionnaire des œuvres de l'art vocal

This three-volume encyclopedia, devoted to vocal compositions from any genre from popular song to opera, complements Honegger’s Dictionnaire de la musique. Its 3500 entries are organized by work title (composers and librettists are indexed) and provide a history of the work’s composition and premiere, a summary of the text, literary and musical commentary, and a list of editions and bibliography. While international in scope, the Dictionnaire des oeuvres de l’art vocal is particularly strong on French vocal repertoire. Given Honegger’s research focus on 16th-century music, Renaissance scholars will find it a treasure trove as well.
