World-wide in scope and focusing on the second half of the 20th century, this work provides biographies and discographies of some 500 composers and conductors of light and popular orchestral music, including film, show, theatre and mood music. The book is arranged in two sequences: 1) Biographies and select discographies, both arranged alphabetically, of the well-known and better-known conductors and composers. These entries also include a list of suggested reading for those wishing to further their studies; and 2) Select discographies of conductors about whom little or no biographical information is available. The bibliography at the end of the book covers discographical sources, popular music and film music. This is the first time that the lives and recordings of such artists as Kostelanetz, Faith, and Gould as well as the orchestral recordings of such great popular composers as Gershwin, Kern, Porter, Rodgers, Berlin and Coward have been documented and presented in an encyclopedic form.

This project stemmed from one of the lectures I presented to my "Music Appreciation classes" taught at Florida Memorial University in Miami; students were often curious about why they do not see many Black conductors leading Classical orchestras or jazz. And they would ask me the question. So, I began trying to explain to them the global makeup of classism that exists culturally and its dangers to humanity, especially when the human is purposely omitted or simply ignored. I did my best. Therefore, at this junction as a teacher, I compiled my notes and brief life experiences for this platform about Classical Conductors and Underrepresented Allies. Conductors are the directors' designated guides to music ensembles, such as orchestras, choruses, and recording sessions. Their job is to make logical selections of works studied for historical accuracy, making the necessary adjustment, quality, and relevancy, and knowing the parts of each instrument and voice to ensure accuracy, tempo, blending, phrasing, and breathing with constant eye contact throughout a composition. They are under continuous study for forthcoming performances. In addition, they plan for rehearsals and the concert season and prepare for auditions and extras for the organization.

The slave narrative has become a crucial genre within African American literary studies and an invaluable record of the experience and history of slavery in the United States. This Companion examines the slave narrative's relation to British and American abolitionism, Anglo-American literary traditions such as autobiography and sentimental literature, and the larger African American literary tradition. Special attention is paid to leading exponents of the genre such as Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs, as well as many other, less well known examples. Further essays explore the rediscovery of the slave narrative and its subsequent critical reception, as well as the uses to which the genre is put by modern authors such as Toni Morrison. With its chronology and guide to further reading, the Companion provides both an easy entry point for students new to the subject and comprehensive coverage and original insights for scholars in the field.
