The general editor was the musicologist and J.C. Bach expert Ernest Warburton.
48 of the edition is a Thematic Catalog of this composer's work prepared by Warburton.
One notable feature of the edition is that it includes material which the obituary of Warburton in The Musical Times described as "drawn in Warburton's own elegant calligraphy."
It also includes some facsimiles of manuscript sources and librettos to vocal works by J.C. Bach.
Noted music scholar Richard Maunder (best known for his completion of Mozart's Requiem) also contributed to the edition.
