Denis Arnold

Denis Midgley Arnold CBE (Sheffield, 15 December 1926 – Budapest, 28 April 1986) was a British musicologist.

He is best known for his editing of The New Oxford Companion to Music (1983, Oxford University Press), which under his editorship grew to a two-volume work of some 2000 pages, with a broader coverage than Percy Scholes' original; and for his work on the music of Monteverdi, Marenzio and Giovanni Gabrieli.

A frequent broadcaster, he also reviewed a great many recordings (mostly in the field of Renaissance music) for Gramophone.

[citation needed] Arnold died on 28 April 1986 in Budapest, Hungary.
