MUSIC LISTS

 

Click on the links to the left for lists of Martin Shaw's music.

 

SHEET MUSIC   Where a piece is in print, the title links to an online supplier.

 

LIBRARY CATALOGUES   If a work is out of print, a link to the online libary catalogues Copac and WorldCat is given. Copac gives lists of holdings in the UK and Ireland, WorldCat gives lists of holdings worldwide. Where the search results are the same, only Copac is shown. While holdings at the Royal Academy of Music are shown, sadly holdings at The Royal College of Music and other conservatoires are not.

Other Catalogues: The British Music Collection based in Hull was just going on line as this list was being prepared. It is a separate resource, so not part of the Copac or WorldCat database. Where a piece is only held with the BMC, their website is shown.

Note: every endeavor has been made to make these lists accurate, certainly as to Shaw's compositions. Online sheet music stores occasionally credit music to Martin Shaw when in fact it is by another composer.
