½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï two years ago, the Gerboth Music Library received nine boxes of materials (mostly new CDs for the collection) from the estate of Patrick Giles (1957–2005), a longtime writer for Opera News. Apparently, Giles never forgot growing up in ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï, where he always delighted in the live music concerts he and his brother attended at ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï.
In fall 2009 the Gerboth Music Library was delighted to receive a donation of eight scores from Hunter College English Professor Gary Schmidgall. The scores included the piano-vocal score of Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha, ed. Vera Brodsky Lawrence and William Bolcom.
