This week, the Music Library received the autobiography of Lang Lang, the 26 year-old pianist who recently performed at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics (Journey of a Thousand Miles: My Story [New York: Spiegel & Grau, 2008], call no. MUX ML417.L28 A3 2008).
Also, the Music Library added a set of teacher's editions and accompanying compact discs from the Silver Burdett Making Music (Glenview, Ill.: Pearson Scott Foresman) textbook series in grades K-8. These will be important resources for our music education students and faculty. They will be on permanent reserve in the Music Library under call nos. MUR M1994 .S559 2005 (the teacher's editions) and MUR CDisc. M1994 .S559 2005b (the compact disc sets).

Some exciting new resources
The Music Library has some exciting new items I would like to share with you.
First of all, we just received a catalog of pamphlets of villancicos (a type of devotional song in Spanish as a vernacular language), co-authored by NIU music history professor Janet Hathaway. It is Pliegos de villancicos en la Hispanic Society of America y la New York Public Library, by Álvaro Torrente and Janet Hathaway. It can be found at call no. MUX ML136.A1 T675 2007.
Earlier this year, the Australian Baroque Brass visited the NIU School of Music and put on a concert in Boutell Memorial Concert Hall. This group, under the artistic direction of John Foster, performed spectacularly. Highlighting our resident talent, they were joined by NIU trumpet professor Mark Ponzo on the baroque trumpet. I am pleased to announce that the Music Library has acquired their compact disc recording, Music of a Golden Age. Ask for this at the Music Library service desk. It is under call no. MUB CDisc. M5 .M875 2006.
Scholars of early music will be pleased to learn that the Music Library has acquired The Byrd Edition, or the complete works of William Byrd, edited by Philip Brett. These scholarly editions will be shelved in Music Library Sets, under call number MUS M3 .B993 1976.
Also, on the topic of musical sets, we have recently acquired the Richard Strauss Edition, containing the complete stage works and orchestral works of Richard Strauss. These are also shelved in Music Library Sets, at MUS M3.1.S7725 S4 1996.
