Jerry McBride has been presented the Vincent H. Duckles Award

Cordial congratulations to IAML member Jerry McBride, who has been presented the prestigious Vincent H. Duckles Award!

"The Vincent H. Duckles Award for the best book-length bibliography or other research tool in music is awarded to Jerry McBride for his work Douglas Moore: a Bio-Bibliography (A-R Editions). This volume is the first biographical or bibliographic book about Moore. This exhaustive work incorporates a large amount of research from diverse sources and goes well beyond the typical length of a bio-bibliography. The biography section contains thoughtful prose that illustrates the “intellectual journey” McBride undertook and his obvious interest in Moore as a person and composer. Sections of the bibliography include writings by and about Moore as well as articles and reviews of specific pieces. Also included are alphabetical, chronological, and classified works lists, and an extensive index. McBride states that he hopes “[this book] will encourage more research into [Moore’s] life and works and further performances of his music,” and indeed this book should be the starting point for anyone beginning research into Douglas Moore or his music.

Therefore, we take great pleasure in recognizing Jerry McBride for his outstanding volume by presenting him with this year’s Vincent H. Duckles Award."
