This book is the product of many peoplecolleagues, composers, teachers, and studentswho generously contributed helpful advice, sent scores, shared materials in their areas of expertise, and generally helped shape my ideas about content and scope.

I am grateful to the following colleagues for their contributions to the first edition of Song and/or this revision: Alfonse Anderson, Gary Arvin, Wanda Brister, Judith Cloud, Michael Cochran, Katharine DeBoer, Mary Day, Mary Dibbern, Tod Fitzpatrick, Thomas Grubb, Warren Hoffer, Amy Hunsaker, Serdar Ilban, Mary MacKenzie, Valerie Ore, Chloe Owen, Paul Kreider, Karen Peeler, Mary Pendleton, Harriett McCleary, Robin Rice, Debra Siebert, Christine Seitz, Stephanie Thorpe, and Roza Tulyaganova. I wish to thank the following composers who responded to my inquiries and offered materials for my use: Geoffrey Bush, Richard Faith, Daron Hagen, Lori Laitman, Libby Larsen, Stephen Paulus, and Jacques Leguerney.

Special thanks are due Debra Greschner, who served as a sympathetic sounding board for ideas and content during the formative stages of Song , and to Kathleen Marx and Jeanette Fontaine, who chased down elusive details in the library. Cheryl Taranto and Lamont Downs, the music librarians at UNLV, were always ready to help find scores and references that I needed. I am indebted to Juline Barol-Gilmore for her thoughtful suggestions about this edition, and for her keen pair of eyes reading many of its pages. I extend sincere thanks to Richard Walters and Christopher Ruck at Hal Leonard, whose encouragement and patience during this project made it seem less daunting. Ralph Kimball, who has been there for all my projects, was a special source of strength during this one.
