D. Kern Holoman's research on the life and works of Hector Berlioz (1803– 69) led in due course to a history of the Société des Concerts du
Conservatoire (the Paris Conservatory Orchestra), which appeared in book form in 2004. The textbook and multi-media package Masterworks appeared in 1998, with a second edition in 2001 and UC Davis-specific editions in 2005 and 2006; the e-book edition appeared in 2010. The second edition of Writing About Music appeared with the University of California Press in
2008; a third edition will appear in 2014. Charles Munch, a biography of the great French conductor, appeared in 2012, as did The Orchestra: A Very Short Introduction (both Oxford UP). In 2009, Holoman retired as conductor of the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra after more than 30 years. In 2013 he became professor emeritus.
