van de Leur, Walter Something to Live For: The Music of Billy Strayhorn
Oxford University Press 2002 0195124480 / 9780195124484 Hardcover Fine in Fine dust jacket
328pp, illustrations, music examples. Billy Strayhorn created hundreds of compositions and arrangements for his musical partner Duke Ellington. In this study, the author removes Strayhorn from Ellington's shadow, making extensive use for the first time of over 3,000 autograph scores to clearly distinguish between the two men's distinctive styles. Through more than 70 musical examples the characteristi c features of Strayhorn's compositions and arrangements can be seen. The book makes clear that Strayhorn's contribution to the band was much larger, and more original, than has previously been acknowledged, and closes an important gap in the history of American music.
