Arthur Meulemans(1884-1966): a Catalogue of the Orchestral Music

[Dundonnell]

Arthur Meulemans was probably one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century. His corpus of orchestral music is quite staggering and I trust that, on this occasion, I may be forgiven for omitting the 100+ compositions for brass band and chorus with band accompaniment
