Scores

Vocal music (solo voice and solo voice with piano accompaniment) may be found shelved under a range of call numbers starting at M1495 and ending with M2199. All vocal scores from M1497 to M1998 are secular scores, while M1999 to M2199 are sacred music scores.

 

Collected works can be found under M1495 for general collections, M1497 for secular collections, and M1999 for sacred collections. The best way to find a score will always be to search it using the Library's OneSearch engine.

 

Some places to start looking for collections are:

  • Standard vocal literature: These collections, one for each voice part, have accompanying CDs which may be checked out. For the following, the CDs will have the same call number as the book. To get the CD, bring the call number to the circulation desk and ask for the CD.
