Cassandra Wilson

The entries below are works composed by the subject, as the institutional registers catalogue them; later performances and commercial recordings of the same music are listed separately. They belong to a run of 96 titles in all, from 1938 to 1938.

95 further compositions are catalogued under Wilson's name without a date the collections agree on, which is why they are set apart from the dated run rather than placed in it. A selection is set out below and the complete run may be opened beneath it. I Didn’t Know What Time It Was. Finally Made Me Happy. Love Is Blindness. (If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want to Be Right. Don't Drink That Corner My Life Is in the Bush. ’Round Midnight.

These are catalogued publications carrying the name — editions and printings, distinct from the works they contain and from writing about the subject. The 2010s are the densest part of the run, with 3 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. They belong to a run of 8 titles in all, from 1974 to 2022.

1 further edition are catalogued under Wilson's name without a date the collections agree on, which is why they are set apart from the dated run rather than placed in it.

These are published sound issues catalogued under the name. Most postdate the works they carry, and an issue is never counted here as a work of composition. 20 issues carry dates between 1986 and 2015. The run opens with Point of View and closes with Coming Forth by Day. The 1990s are the densest part of the run, with 8 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself.

The discography assembled here shows how Wilson's work has been published in sound, not what Wilson made. 32 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 1985 to 2022. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 1990s are the densest decade of publication, with 14 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none. Air Show No.

An authority file is a statement of identity, not a source of facts: it tells a reader that the Wilson named here is the same person the register catalogues, and it is what allows the material above to be gathered under one heading rather than several.
