1The "Birchard Catalog of Instrumental Music" now includes The Church-Dykema Modern Orchestra Training Series and "The Gordon Orchestra and Band Training Series," separate pieces for bands and school orchestras, collections for junior and senior high school and community orchestras, music for ensembles, compositions for solo instruments, miniature scores of contemporary symphonic works for conductors, and symphonic works. The last named constitutes this company's latest development in the instrumental field. During the last several years they have published large orchestral works, all new and original, with the definite aim of helping modern American composers. The first of these works to be published were Aladdin Suite by Edgar Stillman Kelley, The Ocean by Henry Hadley and Overture to a Drama by Arthur Shepherd.
