I am disabled and soon will be moving into a small RV for the rest of my life because I have to live on a very small, fixed income. I was a serious classical choral conductor and I have an extensive and wonderful collection of full scores, oratorios, octavos (many undoubtedly out of print), a few orchestral scores, and perhaps 40 or so multiple copies (25 each) of octavos, collections of Christmas carols, English anthems, the Oxford Madrigal collections, which I bought for my chamber choir.  

 

I am loath to simply throw away this material, and for the most part, except for the large multiple collections of chamber music, I don't have time to sort and sell individually. This music is serious classical pieces, from major composers old and newer. There is no praise type stuff in it and really no junk music. Lots of wonderful Renaissance music, Brahms, Bach, Britten etc. I also have an extensive and varied collection of LPs, most choral and many hard to find things. My book library is also extensive and consists of music reference type books, serious biographies various composers, histories of the Oratorio, Western Music, women's choral music, chant etc. 

 

I am just posting this to see if anyone might be interested in the collection as a whole. You would either have to come pick it up or pay for shipping. We could discuss price, but I suspect it is worth well more than $10,000. I don't expect to get near that amount, but want this collection to go to a good home or library. 

 

I am in Colorado. Just FYI, I studied and earned my degree at the University of Colorado under the late Dr. Lynn Whitten. If anyone out there is looking for a great collection, please email me privately to discuss at:
