Abstract George J. Buelow's distinguished career as author, translator, editor, and officer of numerous musical associations is celebrated in this collection of essays. The volume, planned by his colleagues in honor of his sixty-fifth birthday, concentrates on three of his active interests-Handel studies, vocal music and singers, and the history of music theory. The work concludes with an autobiographical sketch of the dedicatee's early life in Chicago and his formation as a musicologist.
