I have been lurking regarding cataloguing Music Libraries, however I feel I cannot let this go by without mentioning the fine (and that is not descriptive enough) work that Bandmaster William (Bill) Himes has done in the realm of The Salvation Army Music. He has compiled a book in a form of flexible binding, and it is updated yearly. He has the music in alphabetical form; works done by composers; arrangers; solos; duets; quartets; seasonal to name a few. ( I am typing by memory as my book is at my office right now.) It is a superb book and much used by many Sallys around the world. Of course there are probably some ommissions as there are many various publications done by various sections in the Army world, in that the main publishers are SP& S under the auspices of the Music Dept in the UK. New York has its publications, Canada has its own, and I believe some of the other territories in the US have some as well. However it covers very very well the mainstream of the S A music. Another project that was done right here in Canada was done out of love by a fellow by the name of Fred Creighton which was done on a Lotus Spreadsheet. It goes a bit further in that all of the pieces that have been catalogued also have the actual (hymn tune) or whatever tune that is included in a piece catalogued as well. This is also a very comprehensive piece of art and something I have referred to many many times.
