View source for Collected Works of Johann Christian Bach

'''''The Collected Works of Johann Christian Bach''''' is a 48-volume edition of the music of [[Johann Christian Bach|J.C. Bach]] published by [[Garland Publishing]] from 1984 to 1999. The general editor was the musicologist and J.C. Bach expert [[Ernest Warburton (musicologist)|Ernest Warburton]]. Vol. 48 of the edition is a Thematic Catalog of this composer's work prepared by Warburton.
One notable feature of the edition is that it includes material which the [[obituary]] of Warburton in ''[[The Musical Times]]'' described as "drawn in Warburton's own elegant calligraphy." Rather than having scores set in musical type, much of the edition has been printed from scores transcribed by hand for the publication and then reproduced. It also includes some [[facsimile]]s of [[manuscript]] sources and [[libretto]]s to vocal works by J.C. Bach.
Noted music scholar [[Richard Maunder]] (best known for his completion of [[Requiem (Mozart)|Mozart's ''Requiem'']]) also contributed to the edition.
