Excerpt from Catalogue of Printed Music in the Library of the Royal College of Music, London The Library thus formed was inevitably of a very heterogeneous character, and included a large number of duplicates. It was therefore decided by the Council to sell the-less important duplicates, and the amount thus realized was devoted to supplying the most conspicuous deficiencies in the collection and to a certain amount of much-needed expenditure in binding and repairs. On the erection of the present College, the Library was installed in a room especially constructed for the purpose, fitted in part with the old book-cases from the Sacred Harmonic library. The Library is not open to the public, but its contents can generally be consulted in term-time on written request, addressed to the Registrar. The present volume contains the catalogue of the printed music, arranged in alphabetical order. It includes practical music and vocal and instrumental instruction books. It is hoped to follow this volume by a catalogue of the important collection of mss., which is already in progress of compilation. Works on the theory of music, on acoustics, the construction of instruments, &c., are reserved for a final volume, which will also contain the collection of general literature.

Download and read online ebook A Descriptive Catalogue of the Music Collection at Burghley House, Stamford write by Gerald Gifford. This book was released on 2017-11-01. A Descriptive Catalogue of the Music Collection at Burghley House, Stamford available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This title was first published in 2002: Burghley House, Stamford, was built between 1555 and 1587 for William Cecil, Lord Burghley, the Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. The library there contains an extensive collection of manuscript and printed music dating from about 1650 to 1850, substantially formed during the latter part of the 18th century by the Ninth Earl of Exeter. The collection is given particular significance by the inclusion of several rare and in some cases apparently unique volumes. This catalogue examines the Burghley House music collection in the light of contemporary documentary evidence. The opening section describes the people who added to the collection and their musical enthusiasms. This approach brings the collection to life and also enables us to appreciate emergent trends in British music history of the period. With each entry fully described and the printed music referenced to RISM or CPM, this catalogue should form a valuable reference source for all scholars of British music from the 17th to the 19th century.
