The Music Library just acquired the score to Steven Stucky's Second Concerto for Orchestra, (King of Prussia, Pa.: Merion Music, 2006), winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Music. It is available at call no. MUX M1042.S88 no.2 2006.
We are excited to present another resource for writers in our reference collection: D. Kern Holoman's Writing about Music: A Style Sheet, 2d ed. (Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 2008). I am glad to see the inclusion of the eighth chapter, entitled "Best Practices for Student Writers," and I think it would be a good idea for students to consult this before beginning a writing assignment. It is located at MUR ML3797 .W75 2008.
Finally, we now have the most up-to-date print outline of the Library of Congress's Classification scheme for Music. This can be helpful because we use this system to arrange our books, scores, and recordings (with the exception of part of our LP collection) in the Music Library. If you know the call number range to check, you can see what is available on the shelf on an approximate topic, or in the case of music, a medium of performance (duets, trios, orchestral music, etc.). It is shelved under call no. MUR Z696 .U5 M 2007.
