As a Catalog of Modern Music, this book is the first of its kind to focus exclusively on music written in the 20th and 21st centuries. The extended appendix enables the user to search for repertoire according to many different categories, including:
- Instrumentation (either by specific instrumentation or by the larger categories: string orchestra, chamber orchestra, ensemble)
- Solo Instruments
- Duration
- 21. Century Repertoire
- Compositions that use Electronics
The appendix also provides a list of arrangements that were made by Arnold Schönberg’s Verein für musikalische Privataufführungen (Society for Private Musical Performances). These gems of the chamber orchestra repertoire feature ensemble arrangements of works so diverse as Debussy’s Prélude à L’aprés-midi d’un faune or Bruckner’s Symphony No.7 and Johann Strauss’ Emperor Waltzes.
The catalog is completed with a list of publishers, a bibliography of books and web resources, and a foreword by David Daniels.

“This extremely comprehensive and user-friendly guide significantly serves the interests of adventurous spirits performing and programming 20th and 21st century repertoire — and of the music itself. Contemporary composers and performers alike owe a debt of gratitude to Maestro Meyer for this extraordinary achievement.”
Paul Moravec, Composer
