The Musical Settings of Kipling's Verse

(Version 47, May 15th 2008)


Brian Mattinson continues to work on his catalogue of the musical settings of Kipling's verse. The aim is to make this as complete and accurate as possible. So far, over 350 composers are linked with some 320 song titles. Including duplication, the song total is over 800; with instrumental items and theatre/cinema productions, the total number of entries is over 870.

The table is a large file, which may take a minute or two to load, depending on the speed of your connection to the Internet. It is a working document, and Brian is keen to have comments, corrections, queries, or suggestions. Please phone him at +44 (0) 1751 473 272, write to 6 Herisson Close, Pickering, North Yorkshire YO18 7HB, England, or email to banda.mattinson@tiscali.co.uk .
