I was introduced to the first edition of the Orchestral Handbook at the start of my career and have since treasured it and every edition published. The evolution of this sixth edition of Daniels' Orchestral Music is symbolic of a determination to keep discovering the depth of symphonic repertoire. The attention to the fine details of composers' works is a reliable and trusted resource.--Ella M. Fredrickson, principal librarian, The Florida Orchestra Performance librarians can count on Daniels' Orchestral Music to provide critical details about instrumentation, timing, and sourcing for an ever-increasing number of works. Since David Daniels and the current editors are committed to constant improvement, the book continues to be a vital resource, growing ever more valuable with each new edition.--Elizabeth Cusato Schnobrick, principal librarian, National Symphony Orchestra Since the day I started programming my seasons as a conductor, Daniels' Orchestral Music has been an invaluable companion. To welcome this Sixth Edition is an opportunity to program with even more choice and accuracy. The digital edition is a wonderful tool for us all traveling musicians.--Ludovic Morlot, conductor, music director, Barcelona Symphony Orchestra This is the indispensable reference not just for orchestral librarians, but for every conductor, personnel manager, artistic planner, production team, and program notes annotator. The Boston Symphony has multiple copies, to be replaced with this wonderful new sixth edition. David Rahbee and David Oertel continue to expand and improve while maintaining the standard set up by the late David Daniels--they always want to get it right, and they have.--D. Wilson Ochoa, principal librarian, Boston Symphony Even in this age of online databases, I still am a frequent user of the print edition of Daniels' Orchestral Music. A quick grab to the latest edition, always nearby, is still one of the quickest ways to get the information that I need to do my job.--Peter Conover, principal librarian, Chicago Symphony Orchestra While many orchestra librarians use this important reference work solely for looking up compositions and their timing information, I urge everyone to also utilize the comments in the Preface, as well as the many appendices. . . .I have often said a silent 'thank you' to David Daniels for his lifelong commitment to researching orchestral repertoire and making his information available to those of us in the orchestra world. Now I offer up a public thank you: well done, David, and much appreciated!-- Newsletter of the Major Orchestra Librarians' Association (MOLA)
