Welcome to the August roundup of the NLS Music Section’s BARD additions! This month we’ve added a large number of piano and guitar instructional books to our talking book collection, ranging from Christmas music to rock classics like “Louie, Louie.” In our braille collection, we’ve added a wide variety of music, including Philip Sparke’s Trombone Concerto, an article on voice leading and chromatic harmony in Chopin’s music, and the libretto for Puccini’s Suor Angelica.
Please note that all materials listed below are also available to borrow by mail, not only through BARD. Please contact the Music Section to borrow talking books on digital cartridge or to borrow hard copies of braille music. Call us at 1-800-424-8567, ext. 2, or e-mail us at [email protected].
