"Shelf to Stage" is the phrase used by the department of
Music Performance & Education to describe its unique work with the
Print Music Collection at Florida Atlantic University Libraries,
which holds over 30,000 musical scores and documents in its Special Collections.

Print Music in Progress

The library receives music gifts, sorts formats, reviews and evaluates content, enters data, stores holdings, and adds descriptions to webpages to increase public awareness of our collection.

To donate your print music, contact staff.

Transform & Orchestrate

Music staff select valuable and historical music from the collection and create new arrangements, orchestrations, and compositions based on this original sheet music. We edit and publish these new scores with parts so they can be performed by today's musicians. We also serve as orchestra librarians for our performance events.

Full Scores - Look & Listen

This is a collection of the new arrangements and orchestrations of works from our Print Music Collection created and composed by Music Performance & Education staff.
