annotated bibliography

12 April 2004: I have finally - for the first time in several years - made an update to this bibliography, adding all Satie-related articles I could find in the Music Index issues for 2000-2002. There are new items under Articles, Books and Theses. New items are marked with a Satie image before the author's name.

This is the start of what will eventually become an extensive bibliography on Satie and the musical movements which he anticipated. Currently all materials have been gathered together under type of material (recordings will be found in the Discography when it eventuates). These will eventually be separated out so that related materials will be grouped together (e.g. Satie-only resources, minimalism, impressionism)

It will be noted that some of the entries in this bibliography contain nothing about Satie. These have been included because they shed light on some style of music or other which is discussed in the research sections of this site. As the focus of the site is Satie, however, these have been annotated from a Satie viewpoint.

A lot of titles have not yet received annotations - this is generally because I read them nearly eight years ago and haven't had time to re-read. One day... Others have been collected from issues of Music Index and other publications' bibliographies and I haven't yet sourced the actual article. On reviewing, should an article turn out to not be relevant, it will be deleted from this bibliography.

If you review and as-yet unreviewed article & would like to submit an annotation, or to suggest its removal from the list, please email satie@minim-media.com. Any contributions of new titles and annotations will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
