Assembling and collating the list of works has been hindered by the fact that original manuscripts have survived for fewer than half of Moeran's published compositions, and of these, only a small number bear reliable dating evidence. The dates for some works can be deduced from Moeran's correspondence and from data extracted from articles in newspapers and music periodicals, and in some cases the titles of the works suggest possible dates. However, in many cases, no evidence for a precise date has been found, and an approximate date has been extrapolated from the date of publication. Since almost all Moeran's work was published during his lifetime, this has enabled the creation of this list, which is as chronologically accurate as possible.

Individual works are ordered by their known or deduced completion date. Works that were grouped as a set are ordered by the date of the collection.

List of Lost or Uncompleted Works

It is estimated that the list of surviving works represents less than half of the completed music that Moeran composed during his lifetime: many works were lost, destroyed or otherwise misplaced. This list comprises surviving uncompleted works and the pieces for which there is reasonable evidence of their former existence.
