Necrology Index
Compiled by Paul Hahn
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 (||) 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.
