SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR TREASURE HUNT♦ Visit a nearby college library. Peruse the collected works of great composers.♦ Seek out recommendations and lists from colleagues whom you trust.♦ Attend convention performances. Save the programs. Make notes to yourself as you listen.♦ Consider the suggestions students make from their summer music camp repertoire.♦ Listen to choral music. Attend concerts. Purchase CDs and professional recordings. (Suggestion: Use the Classical Music Advanced
Search at Amazon.com to find professional recordings – it is a remarkable search engine. Also, iTunes now has a large selection of choral music.)♦ Check out the Choral Public Domain Library (www.cpdl.org) and Handlo Music (www.handlo.com).♦ Look in choral collections. Permission to photocopy can be sought from the publisher.♦ Start a personal file of single octavos.
• Buy single copies from lists of quality music offered by individuals respected in the profession.• Throw out almost all music/CDs sent by publishers.
