The Disney Song Encylopedia

"The Disney Song Encyclopedia" describes and discusses hundreds of famous and not-so-famous songs from Disney films, television, Broadway, and theme parks from the 1930s to the present day.  Over 900 songs are given individual entries and presented in alphabetical order.  The songwriters and original singers are identified, as well as the source of the song and other venues in which it might have been used over the years.  Notable recordings of the song are also listed.  But most important, the song is described and what makes it memorable is discussed.  This is not a reference list but a true encyclopedia of Disney songs.  The book also contains a preface describing the criteria for selecting the songs, a glossary of song terms, a list of all the Disney songs and their sources, a songwriter's directory in which every song by each composer/lyricist is listed, a bibliography, a guide to recordings and DVDs of Disney productions, and an index of people and titles.  Cloth,  368 p.
