Music Library
Music Library
The Vermont Music and Arts Association has a fairly extensive music library for use by participants, but you may want to bring some from your own collection. To help you decide what to bring, you may consult the library catalogue on-line.
The list by genre and the actual music collection are sorted by the library call number, the first letter of which is:
E for Ensemble without piano
P for instrumental music with Piano
R for Reference material (not performance parts)
V for Vocal music
The digits after the initial E or P for the instrumental works are.
First digit:
indicates the number of instrumental parts (up to 9); 9 also indicates large ensembles.
Second digit:
0 = piano only
1 = strings only +/- piano
3 = winds only +/- piano
5 = winds and string +/- piano
Third digit: a code for the specific instrumentation. P2 includes works for 2 pianos P202) or one piano, 4 hands (P204).
The digits following the initial V for the vocal works are
First digit: the number of vocal parts
Second digit:
0 = unaccompanied voice(s)
2 = with piano
4 = with instrument(s) other than piano
6 = with piano and other instrument(s)
For example, string quartets (E412) sort before wind quintets (E532) or violin sonatas (P211), and all vocal works sort after instrumental works.
