COLLECTION NEWS
Spring, 2015
Greetings Musicians
Spring is finally here, and so are some great additions to the Music Collection! As you prepare for your Summer
courses or travels, feel free to ask for assistance. If you are out of town, I am just an e-mail away. Between online
resources and our Interlibrary Loan service, I can probably help you find what you need.
In this issue of the newsletter, I focus on the Blues, one of America’s great musical genres. The Music Collection blog
also featured the Blues during Black History Month. Check it out! http://bsumc.blogspot.com.

Focus on The Blues
Each year the Music Collection Blog posts for Black
History Month focus on particular aspects of music
history. This year it was the Blues, starting with the
Delta Blues, then Chicago Blues. Because women also
sang the blues, one blog post for Women’s History
Month: Ladies Sing the Blues. A final post looks at the
impact the early Blues has had on later musicians: Blues
The Revival and Beyond.
The Music Collection’s holdings include books, scores,
and CDs of blues from all eras and specialties. For background reading, check out The Blues, in the New Grove
via Oxford Music Online (Ball State log-in required).

A Cellarful of Motown!
The Motown popular music label was home to so many
great talents of 1960s soul that even the songs that did
not make it to singles or albums were often better than
other songs on the charts. Fortunately these tracks
were archived (in the “cellar”) and have been released
on CD. The series includes previously unknown songs
by The Isley Brothers, The Marvelettes, Stevie Wonder,
Gladys Knight & the Pips, Marvin Gaye, Jr. Walker & the
All Stars, The Supremes, The Temptations, Edwin Starr,
and other artists from the Motown roster.

Sounds from the Silents is a
compilation of short excerpts
and original compositions used
by theatre musicians in the days
of silent film. Excerpts portray
emotions or actions of silent

ALEdmonds@bsu.edu
Though not addressed to musicians, any musician
who breathes, uses the mouth, thinks, or listens
should know about this book. Sections include the
mouth, tongue, throat, respiratory system, and the
muscles of the chest and back. The author, David
H. McFarland, is a professor of Speech-Language
Pathology and Audiology, so the intended audience
is medical. There are illustrations from many angles
and brief descriptions of the functions of the body’s
systems. Not for the squeamish, but it’s always
good to know what goes on in the musical body.
Playing for Change is a
worldwide music project
connecting the world
through music. Tracks
from musicians across
the world are layered to
create unique textures.
Musicians include folk
musicians, street musicians, and stars such as

Gregorian chant
notation dates
from the 12th
Century and remains in use today.
Today’s students find it hard to
interpret, but textbooks continue
to use examples in chant notation,
copied from official Catholic books.
This little book helps readers and
singers interpret some of the most
commonly cited chants of the
repertoire. Excerpts are from the
Graduale Triplex, the main chant
book of the Catholic Church.
