List of works by Hector Berlioz

The French romantic composer Hector Berlioz produced significant musical and literary works. Berlioz composed mainly in the genres of opera, symphonies, choral pieces and songs. As well as these, Berlioz also produced several works that fit into hybrid genres, such as the "dramatic symphony" Roméo et Juliette and Harold in Italy, a symphony with a large solo part for viola. Berlioz's compositions are listed both by genre and by the catalogue developed by the musicologist D. Kern Holoman. Opus numbers were assigned to compositions when they published. However, they were only given to a fraction of Berlioz's work and are not in chronological order. Berlioz's writings include memoirs, technical studies and music criticism.
Musical compositions by genre.
Many of Berlioz's works resist easy categorisation and assigning them to a genre is often impossible. The genres given below should be regarded as merely a guideline.
Works by Holoman number.
This is a list of works by Holoman number, from the "Catalogue of the works of Hector Berlioz" (1987) by D. Kern Holoman, the 25th volume Bärenreiter's "New Berlioz edition" (1967–2006) [NBE]. The volume number that the work appears in the NBE is given. Many works exist in multiple versions for different forces. Opus numbers are also given for those works that have them.
Unfinished works.
There were also several works that Berlioz planned to write mentioned in his memoirs and letters that he never wrote. These include the operas "Les Noces d’or d’Obéron et de Titania", "La Mort d’Hercule", "Richard en Palestine", "Robin-Hood", "Atala", "Les Noces des fées", "Les Brigands", "Hamlet", "Méphistophélès", "Roméo et Juliette", "Cléopâtre", "Salammbô", and an opera on the Thirty Years' War; settings of verses by Édouard Turquety and Abbé Arnaud, Canon of Poitiers; a Symphony in A Minor; and a vast symphonic poem.
