Abstract

The purposes of this study are to make death educators more aware of music-classical as well as traditional and contemporary-as a vehicle for expression of thanatological ideas, and to introduce them to various means of approaching works of music and related scholarship. Major parts of the study are a 102-item bibliography, painstakingly gathered from all basic sources of information; and extensive lists of musical works, chiefly classical, which express "death themes". Suggestions for study of musical works and topics, and for research across the disciplines of music and thanatology, many of them keyed to items in the bibliography, are presented.
