For scores in our physical collections:
- M1500 materials include full scores and orchestrations for operas, operettas, and musicals, first organized by the last name of the composer and then alphabetically by show title.
- M1503 materials include piano-vocal scores, first organized by the last name of the composer and then alphabetically by show title.
- M1508 materials include individual selections (piano-vocal sheet music) from dramatic works including stage and film musicals and musical revues. Selections in the M1508 call number are organized by title of show (for example, all selections from The King and I are located in the same folder).
- The ML96 classification number identifies manuscript scores and music sketches either written or annotated in the hand of the composer.
The departmental music library in Bergendoff Hall also contains a number of scores available to music majors. Contact the Music Department at 309-794-7233 for more information about their collections.
