New @ the Music Library
Thanks to a generous donation from newly retired Professor Raymond Erickson and a matching funds from the Queens College Development Office, the Music Library has added three new Collected Works series (Gaetano Donizetti, Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre, and the newest Antonio Vivaldi series), purchased missing volumes of existing series, and increased our reference book collection. Thank you Prof. Erickson and the Queens College Development Office for supporting our research collections!
We are in the process of converting our score collection from Dickinson call numbers to Library of Congress. We are working on the regular scores and the reference scores, but the oversize and miniature scores are done. Please see the circulation desk if you have questions or problems finding a score. Thank you for your patience!
About the Music Library
Nurtured by both the Aaron Copland School of Music and the Queens College Libraries, the Queens College Music Library has evolved into a first-class research facility and is the largest music collection in the CUNY system. The Music Library is located on two levels in the School of Music building and contains over 35,000 scores, 30,000 books and 20,000 sound recordings, including the David S. Walker Music Education Collection and the Ursula Springer Choral Music Collection. Its reference collection, including complete works of composers and monuments of music, is one of the best in the New York City area. Special collections, which are housed at the Benjamin Rosenthal Library, include the Karol Rathaus Archives and the K. Robert Schwarz Papers.
