Library materials are due tomorrow, Friday, May 8. Be sure chamber music sets are complete. And here's a friendly reminder that our scores are MSM property to be shared by all. They don't just magically appear on our shelves out of nowhere, for your exclusive use. Did you notice, for instance, that they are beautifully bound, by hand? Treat them, and the students who need to use them next, with respect. Any markings you make must be done only lightly and in pencil, and then thoroughly erased--by you--before returning them to us. When our scores come back looking like this, we bill you for the replacement--cost of the score, plus $75, which in this case comes to $174.95!

R.I.P. Michael Harrison, MSM faculty member and alumnus. If you'd like to pay tribute to him musically, his most famous score, "Revelation: music in pure intonation for piano tuned in extended just intonation," can be found in the piano section of the Peter Jay Sharp Library: https://library.msmnyc.edu/record=b1147600
