Spring, 2010
Spring Semester seems to be flying by! The library has been a hub of activity, including the well received
lobby performance by the Concert Choir. Despite this year’s financial challenges, the Music Collection has
received funds for special acquisitions (see below and page 4). I have tried to focus on practical material
while maintaining the scholarly excellence of the collections. There has been no change to subscriptions for
scholarly scores, RILM, New Grove online, Naxos Music Library, and journals. I continue to add to the web
subject guide for music (http://bsu.libguides.com/music) and the Music Collection blog
(http://bsumc.blogspot.com/). As always, if you have suggestions or comments
feel free to contact me: aledmonds@bsu.edu or 285-5065.

This tool allows you to search
CardCat without knowing the
official subject or uniform title.
For standard instrumentations
(e.g. string quartet), click the box
for that grouping. For other
configurations, indicate the number of each instrument. You can
add a keyword such as ―wedding‖
to the search as well.
Standard repertoire will often fit
the bill, but lacking experience,
our students may not know which
pieces will ―work‖ for these
occasions.

For many students their first paid
performances are ―gigs‖ for holidays and special occasions. Freelancing brings the challenge of finding appropriate sheet music at the
last minute, or accommodating the
wishes of a Bridezilla.
The Music Collection has sheet
music to help make these first
professional experiences
successful. Some examples:

New Resources for Vocalists

Libraries
Singers! Do you need help with
diction? The Music Collection
has added some diction aids to
help with standard repertoire.
These resources give word-byword translations and IPA
pronunciation for each lied,
aria or song.
The Pronunciation Guide and
Diction Coach series also have
accompanying CDs. These have
a diction coach speaking the
poetic text as it should be sung,
and a second reading that leaves
time after each line for the
singer to repeat the text.
Recent additions also include
seven additional volumes in the
opera libretto series by Nico
Castel. This series has complete
librettos for important operas with
word-by-word translation and IPA
pronunciation. The call numbers
vary, but they can be found at the
beginning of the Music Collection
Reference Shelves.
