 It is that time of year!  If you are a senior applying to graduate programs in music, you are starting to hear about auditions, interviews, and entrance examinations for those universities.  The Maxwell Music Library has several resources that will help you in your preparation. If you have more than a week, you should flip back through the texts of your textbook, but also take a look at what if

Furman is preparing for a performance of "The President's Own" Marine Band on Friday, October 28.  I'm sorry to say that if you did not get tickets in the first five hours they were available, you might miss out on seeing them live this time around. Do not despair!  The Maxwell Music Library has a display up featuring quotations about The United States Marine Band, physical recordings we have,

The library just purchased the Computer Science Digital Library, and I went hunting for music content. There is quite a bit in there on digital music, tuning/temperament, and electro-acoustics. The nature of the material is pretty technical, most of it coming from computer science journals, but would be useful for the students really interested in specific softwares, experiments, composition

The library recently purchased the online version of American National Biography. While not specifically a music resource, it is rich with music-related content.If you are familiar with the more well-known (British) National Biography, this is a similar resource - an attempt to collect reliable biographical entries for Americans with significant contribution to history, invention, culture, and

As you approach the countdown to research papers, remember that sometimes what your brain needs most is a break.

When preparing a piece, or researching performance practice, it can be helpful to listen to several versions of it. There are the usual library resources of the compact discs we have on the shelf, and databases such as Classical Music Library. If you are looking for more, the internet is a logical place to go. I recently ran across a site - Songza.fm - that acts as a music and video harvester,

Classical Music in America: A History of Its Rise and Fall by Joseph HorowitzML200 .H797 2005This controversial tome peaked my interest after hearing it mentioned at conferences, in journal articles, and even the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Shape note singing, labeled as such because the musical notation uses note heads in 4 distinct shapes to aid in sight-reading, has been an American tradition dating back to 1801 (with a history extending back through the Renaissance). In this region, one can still attend "singings," where groups will sing from the Sacred Harp or other tune books, including The Christian Harmony, known as the "

This past weekend I attended the Southeast Chapter of the Music Library Association's annual meeting in Columbus, GA. We had the welcome reception in the music library in the Schwob School of Music, part of Columbus State University. A lot of music librarians in the southeast have been in their jobs for over 20 years, so people seemed to know each other really well. The music library was pretty

I was watching a rerun of Gilmore Girls, where Emily (the grandmother) remarks to her date that the Mahler Seventh Symphony will always move her. Not having that work in my immediate recall, I had to run to the music library and listen to it. This version is the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Seiji Ozawa.If you have ever wondered what work you are listening to while watching a movie or

During the start of a school year, I often use music to remedy stress. My favorite composer to bring emotional release is Chopin, and as a pianist, his nocturnes have always allowed me to reflect and relax. To be honest, this Claudio Arrau CD is merely the first one I pulled from the shelf, although the music library has multiple renditions of the Chopin nocturnes. You can listen to others

As you may or may not know, this year is the Year of the Environment at Furman University. I have been compiling a list of music about the earth (forthcoming) and in looking for a recording of Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) came across this compact disc collection, with Igor Stravinsky conducting his works. This is the first time this set has been released on CD, as the recordings

In the June 2006 issue of Percussive Notes, the Rosauro Marimba Concerto is featured for its significant number of performances in the last 20 years.
