Abstract:
This bibliography attempts to partially address the need for a current bibliography on New Zealand music. It's objective is to update a chapter of D.R.Harvey's "A Bibliography of Writings about New Zealand Music Published to the End of 1983." (Wellington: Victoria University Press, 1985) on "Composition and Composers" The bibliography lists materials from selected newspapers and periodicals from 1984 - 1989 and monographs, theses and research essays from 1984 -1997. Selection of material has been based on relevancy of content and on its suitability for use by music students (6th Form - Graduate) and lay-people with some musical knowledge.
