Music Library
Our local chapter maintains a library of
organ music thanks to the generous music contributions of chapter members. The room and access
are provided by Central
Presbyterian Church, and the furniture was given by the late Alfred Schmidt. The library is on the 2nd floor of the Education Wing of Central Presbyterian Church, 125 North 7th Street, Terre Haute,
IN 47807. The library resides in four file cabinets and is open to members
of the chapter during regular church office hours - 8:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M.
Monday through Friday. Keys to the file cabinets are available at the
church office. Call the church office (812) 232-5049 to be sure that
the church is open. Call Gary Jenkins at (812) 466-1584 to arrange
Saturday and Sunday use. Gary Jenkins, AGO Dean, will generally be present
1:30 - 5 P.M.
on Wednesdays.
We have a marvelous selection of music representing many of the great composers as well as the lesser known. All schools of music are represented from the Baroque to Contemporary. The music includes all levels of organ playing proficiency as well as instructional material. We also include VCR instructional tapes for playing the organ. There is some piano and choral music also available to members.
At present all music is filed alphabetically according to composer.
