The performance librarian is the person responsible for managing,
maintaining, and organizing the resources of a performance library.
This personnel can now benefit from A Manual for the Performance
Library, a guide for organizing and operating a library of music
performance materials. Music for performance has different needs
than music for study. It must be easy to read and understand, and
it must be formatted so as not to impede the musician's efforts to
interpret the notes into musical sound. This book outlines,
step-by-step, the ways of acquiring, processing, cataloging, and
preparing music for performance. While focusing primarily on music
for large ensembles, like orchestra and chorus, author Russ
Girsberger also includes concepts that apply to wind, jazz, and
chamber ensembles. The material is logically organized, detailing
information on purchasing or renting music; cataloging and
processing scores; numbering, marking, binding and shelving parts;
and preparing and distributing the music for rehearsal or
performance. Additional duties, such as describing necessary
information on preparing concert programs and audition lists, and
caring for and preserving the library's holdings are also covered.
The manual concludes with a glossary, an annotated bibliography,
and an appendix, which features sample forms for cataloging and
circulating the library's materials.
