Necrology index.(links to obituaries of musicians)

This document is an extract from the Gaylord Music Library Necrology File, http://library.wustl.edu/units/music/necro/index.html. The persons noted below are largely those listed in the dictionaries and encyclopedias cited following the double bar (II) in each entry. Note that variant information is given following the initial report of death without any attempt to resolve the conflict; this applies to the 2001 portion as well as to the 2000 supplement.

I would like to acknowledge my colleagues at Gaylord Music Library: Dan Pickett, Brad Short, and Jason Stumpf, who supplied a steady stream of obituaries; student assistants Lori Chan, Carla Jackson, Leonard Lee, Lindsay Neemann, and Jonathan Stahler, who helped annotate the 2000 supplement; and my wife, Rosemary Hahn, for additional obituaries and for proofreading.

Corrections or contributions to the necrology may be addressed to the editor: Paul Hahn, Gaylord Music Library, Washington University, Campus Box 1061, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130-4899 or by email: manynote@library.wustl.edu.
