I was wondering if you have music and not just the musical scores for people to play?
Dear Barb: We have what we call music appreciation materials. This includes lectures, radio shows, and other discussions about music. Sometimes these books contain excerpts or examples of music, but generally would not include the entire piece or song. However, our collection of books from Smithsonian Folkways does include full songs, in addition to a narration of the liner notes. If you or someone you know are interested in any this material, or have any further questions, please call (1-800-424-8567, ext. 2) or email us ([email protected]).
