The Music Collections of the University of Notre Dame Libraries are a small, highly-selective group of materials concerned primarily with the documentation of the sacred and art traditions of western religious, popular, and concert music from the beginning of notated music until the present. Jazz and classic popular music are represented in the collections, but are not areas of emphasis. Contemporary popular genre (rap, hip-hop, country and western music, etc.) and folk genre as well as music from non-western traditions are not included to any significant extent. The collections include printed (scores and parts) and recorded (audio and video) music as well and both serial and book publications about music.
