The App State Only option in Library Search, which you can access via the following search box, provides access to the library holdings of Appalachian State University (books, movies, music scores, music CDs, government documents, audiobooks, and more).

Finding a Specific Piece of Music or Recording

Using the App State Library Catalog

• For shorter works, do a TITLE search in ASU's Library Catalog; if that retrieves nothing or only a few items, try the same search as a KEYWORD search.  
• Do an AUTHOR search (composer last name, first name). Arrangement of a composer's works is by UNIFORM TITLE. Uniform titles are either DISTINCTIVE titles in the original language, or GENERIC titles, which begin with form or genre, and are followed by performance medium, serial or opus or thematic catalog number, and key.

Finding Music in a Specific Category

Do a KEYWORD search in App State's Library Catalog 

Example  KEYWORD Searches: 

• Woodwind Quartet
• Chamber music
• Bassoon Concerto
