Lists and describes approximately 1,600 published and unpublished choral works by more than 100 African-American composers and arrangers, 600 more works than the first edition. Many of these works, representing all styles from simple four-part settings to avant-garde pieces, have not been performed before because of the difficulty in locating them. Whites bibliography provides a useful tool for busy conductors wishing to perform music by African-American composers, and serves as an incentive to choral conductors to program little-known composers as well as unknown works by established musicians. Arrangement is by composer. Entries list number of pages; voicing and solo requirements; vocal ranges; degree of difficulty; a cappella or type of accompaniment; publishers; and catalog number. Also included are a title index; a listing of selected collections of Negro spirituals; biographical sketches of African-American composers and arrangers; and three appendixes: selected source readings, selected discography, and addresses of publishers and composers.

Acknowledgments
Warner Lawson, Sr. (1903197 1) served at Howard University, Washington, D.C., as Dean of the School of Music, Dean of the College of Fine Arts and distinguished Director of the Howard University Choir. The author had the privilege of serving with him for many years as Associate Director of the choir. I pay special tribute to Warner Lawson, Sr., who first encouraged me to pursue a career in music as choral conductor and teacher.
May I express my profound gratitude to Dr. James Thomas Holliday, Associate Professor of Music, Howard University, Washington, D.C., who gave unstintingly of his time as chief research assistant and who supervised the preparation of manuscripts for both the first (1981) and second editions. His unfaltering support, critical judgment and encouragement were essential to the completion of this research project.
