PACIFIC NORTHWEST CHAPTER NEWS
Seattle ‘97
The Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Music Library Association held its annual meeting May 9-10, 1997 at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Four Seattle area businesses involved with music technology made presentations at the meeting. Representatives from Musicware, producers of Nightingale and NoteView; the Experience Music Project; Microsoft and Sunhawk demonstrated various forms of music technology from CD-ROM production to on-demand publishing.
JoAnn Taricani and Richard Will from the UW School of Music, Music History Division read papers demonstrating the breath of musicological interests and archival and library research coming from the University of Washington.
The editorial group for the Directory of Music Resources in the Pacific Northwest, 2nd Edition reported on its work with completion of the project in sight.
It was decided that the past-chair would serve as Chair of the nominations Committee. Betty Woener is the lucky person this time!
We took time out to pay tribute to our three retirees, Sandy, Barbara, and David who were presented with Duckles Fund letter-openers from the Chapter.

MINUTES
PNWMLA BUSINESS MEETING
Seattle, Washington
May 9, 1997
The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m. by Betty Woerner, Chair. Twenty-two Chapter members were in attendance.
I. Minutes of the 1996 Business Meeting were approved as printed in the 1996 Newsletter.
II. The Treasurer's report was accepted as read.
III. Announcements/Quick Business:
A. Election Results. Cathy Gerhart (University of Washington) was elected Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect of the Chapter for the upcoming year, and our sincere appreciation was extended to Anna Seaberg for also agreeing to run. Elaine Weeks (Seattle Public Library) was elected Secretary-Treasurer for a two-year term, and also agreed to continue as Newsletter Editor for another two years. John Gibbs (University of Washington) will be continuing in office, serving the upcoming year as Chapter Chair.
B. New Members: We were delighted to welcome the following new members: John Brower, Seattle Public Library, and Carolyn Shandler, Vancouver Academy of the Arts.
C. Retirements. The Chapter honored three retirees this year, two of whom were in attendance. Sandy Acker (University of Victoria), Barbara Rhyne (Multnomah County Library), and David Wood (University of Washington) were feted with cake, cards, and contributions by the Chapter in their honor to MLA's Vincent Duckles Fund, for which each received an MLA letter opener.
D. Directory Update. Progress has been made on the long-awaited 2nd edition of the Directory of Music Resources in the Pacific Northwest, and publication is now expected by early fall.
E. Chapter Homepage. Chris asked to be relieved as "webmaster" of the Chapter's homepage and was delighted that Chapter members from Seattle Public Library agreed to take on the job.
IV. Old Business:
Constitutional Issues: Nominations Chair. The suggestion was made that the position of Chair of the Nominations Committee be permanently assigned to the Past-Chair, because that person wouldn't want to run again. All present agreed. After the difficulty experienced by this year's Nominations Committee in finding candidates willing to run for the open positions, it was also suggested that the Constitution be changed to require only one candidate per office, although two will still be preferred. Chris will suggest some language, run it by the Board, change the handbook, and review the constitution for any other things that might need changing.
V. New Business:
A. Invitation for National. Betty read a letter she received from Susan Hitchens asking whether our Chapter was interested in submitting a bid for an upcoming national meeting. With the Seattle meeting so recent, no one had much enthusiasm. Vancouver might be interested in the future.
B. Brochure. Betty and Paula agreed to work on a brochure for the chapter, which could be handed out at Orbis or Portals meetings, library schools, and/or any other related gatherings.
C. Multnomah County Library. Betty drafted a letter to be sent to Ginnie Cooper, Director of the Multnomah County Library, emphasizing the positive role that that library plays in providing music materials in the Portland area, and urging her to replace Barbara Rhyne with another music specialist.
VI. 1998 Chapter Meeting:
Kirsten and Carolyn offered to host next year's Chapter meeting in Vancouver, B.C. Their offer was enthusiastically accepted by the attending members.
VII. The meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a.m.
Dates and location for the annual meeting
The Annual Meeting of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Music Library Association will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia on May 1 and 2, 1998. Cathy Gerhart, in her role as Vice Chair, will be helping the Vancouver folks (led by Kirsten Walsh and Terry Horner at UBC) plan an exhilarating and informative program for you.
Retirements
In addition to those mentioned elsewhere in this newsletter, long time member Jan Pyle of the University of Idaho retired in August, 1997. Spring of 1997 also saw the retirement of John Coleman, music librarian at Seattle Public Library.

(206) 685-2827 or mailto:gerhart@u.washington.edu.
News from regional chapters
The fall meeting of the New England chapter included several topics of interest, among them a report on the Irish music collections at Boston College (a hot item here currently) and a presentation entitled "Sidney Homer, husband, father, uncle and oh yes, composer." As a collector of Homer’s songs, I really hated to miss this one! Also contained in their June newsletter was a very disturbing report on the effects of budgetary cuts on music services at Boston Public Library.
Darn it all, I didn’t get to attend the New York State/Ontario chapter fall meeting and missed a session on vocal delivery in Handel’s recitatives and arias in the early nineteenth century. I probably would have really enjoyed the sessions on chamber music in England, 1695-11710, and patterns of mimesis and imitation in French songs of the late Middle Ages as well as a preview of the new edition of Koechel called Cataloging Mozart.
Southeast chapter’s newsletters include interesting feature articles. Two articles listed resources in Arkansas of use to the music researcher and another article describing the University of Arkansas Libraries/Fayette Special Collections Division. The 1996 annual meeting included sessions on depictions of the South on sheet music covers, collecting the blues, and music of the Vicksburg siege.
The Mountain-Plains chapter included a "field trip" in its annual meeting. They ended the meeting at Rancho de as Golondrinas, a living history museum of an authentic Spanish colonial settlement, with costumed villagers portraying life in the Southwest during the 17th and 18th centuries. They covered a great many musically related subjects in the meeting proper, with papers on 1860’s Virginia City entertainment booker, Thomas Maguire, the disappearance of the sung Nicene Creed with the advent of the Second Vatican Council, planning a new music library, Bulgarian folk music, system user groups, and harpist and composer Henriette Renie, among others.
A very informative list of Northern California music libraries and collections on the internet can be found in the Northern California chapter newsletter. The Southern California chapter spring meeting featured an interview with Mel Powell and a presentation on animation and music on the internet; the fall meeting had focused on the life and music of Roy Harris. The newsletter also contained an article on the Paramount Pictures and the Society for the Preservation of Film Music Preservation Project, which has completed the task of cleaning, cataloging and preserving orchestral scores and parts for a approximately 1500 feature films and shorts from Paramont.
MEMBER NEWS
Betty Woerner
Here's the news from Reed: We now have a brand-new campus center and auditorium, along with a remodeled student union. It all looks very spiffy, and finally gives us a performance space for music that is wheelchair -accessible. The auditorium will officially open in January, and will be the site for Chamber Music Northwest and the Reed Music matinee series, along with visiting shows. Unfortunately, it's not great for dance, since the wings and backstage area are not big enough. I just got back from Parent's day at Marlboro College in Vermont, where my son is now a freshman. It's a tiny (260 students) liberal arts college in the Green Mountains--an absolutely beautiful setting. My daughter is in her second year at Harvard Law school, so it looks like I'll be seeing more of the Northeast for a while. So now we're empty-nesters, which is really fun. You don't lose a child, you gain a closet! Actually, our house, which was always too small when the kids were at home, is now echoingly empty. We'll adjust, however.
I'll see you all in Boston.
Kirsten Walsh
We're still adjusting to our new DRA online system. This Fall our renovations were completed (see Terry Horner's account) and the inside of our building is about to get its first new coat of paint in 30 years. The Music Library should look bright and clean for your next visit: the date hasn't been set yet, but I hope you can come up for the Spring 1998 Chapter Meeting.
Thomas Quigley
Thomas Quigley is back to Europe on invitation, to speak on the problems of Brahms Bibliography at the International Brahms Congress in Gmunden, Austria (late October). His second Brahms Bibliography volume (covers Brahms literature published 1982-1996, and retrospective coverage from LC Music Periodical Index, and Works Project Administration Music Periodical Index) is due out from Scarecrow Press in May 1998.
Laurel Sercombe
From the University of Washington Ethnomusicology Archives -
1) In 1997 we co-produced our second compact disc recording with Northwest Folklife - "Recordando a Venezuela - Rafael Angel Aparicio y Los Hermanos Aparicios" (Northwest Folklife Recordings NWARCD 102). This is a collection of Venezuelan harp music with cuatro, maracas, and bass – very lively and well-performed, all instrumental. Available on CD ($15.00 and cassette ($10.00) from Northwest Folklife (www.nwfolklife.org/folklife/)
2) In the ongoing effort to improve myself, I took and passed my doctoral qualifying exams in April 1997 (the same week the university police rousted the guy who'd been living in the duct room just across from me in the sub-basement of the music building for about 10 years). This does not mean I actually _have_ improved myself, and it certainly doesn't mean I have my doctorate - I still have research and dissertation ahead of me.
3) In winter quarter 1998 I'll be teaching "Introduction to Sound Archiving" in the School of Music. This is a new course, which I'm currently designing.
4) At this year's Society for Ethnomusicology conference the Archiving Committee, chaired by me, will present a forum titled "Indigenous Knowledge in the World Marketplace." Four speakers will discuss current issues in the area of intellectual property rights as they affect research and publication by ethnomusicologists.
Sheila Knutsen
During June I was able to attend two conferences: the Dance Critics Association national meeting at Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, and the World Dance Alliance meeting at Simon Fraser University's downtown location in Vancouver, B. C. Both meetings were good opportunities to make broader connections in dance and attend animated discussions.
A highlight during October at Fine and Performing Arts was completion of an arts therapy books order for $2,000. A librarian in Social Sciences and local therapists in art, dance, drama and music contributed suggestions.
Fine and Performing Arts has continued offering special-focus Web classes. Mine have included Arts Therapies on the Internet and Dance on the Web, the latter co-taught with Sandra Kurtz, dance historian. Sandra and I also gave a Power Point presentation of Dance on the Web at the Dance Educators of Washington fall conference.
I continue to co-ordinate ballet previews of Pacific Northwest Ballet programs, and am currently co-ordinating several video showings in connection with the Leonardo Lives exhibit at Seattle Art Museum. I still try to keep in touch with some music organizations such as Seattle Music Teachers where I recently attended a wonderful lecture and performance of Bach's Two and Three-part Inventions by Randolph Hokanson.
We are looking forward to the arrival on November 17 of our new City Librarian, Deborah Jacobs.
Elaine Weeks
As a parting gift before his retirement, John Coleman processed a vast gift of music from a local store no longer in business and sent the whole lot to catalog. In addition, John Brower has started a project to replace much of the music we’ve lost over the last few years. As a result, I have boxes and boxes of music to catalog for the first time in many years. I have come to believe that it is an insidious plan to keep me from retiring!
Carolyn Shandler
It was great meeting many of the PNWMLA members in Seattle last spring. I was hired in the Fall of 1991 to set up a performers music library at the Vancouver Academy of Music. In affiliation with the Open Learning Agency a Bachelor of Music programme was being initiated and one of the accreditation requirements was, of course, having a librarian with an MLS providing library services. I came to the position directly from the Canadian Music Centre, but with experience at 2 school libraries, as well as 2 company libraries. I worked with Eldo Neufeld at UBC as a library school student.
This position has been a wonderful challenge. I had the opportunity to pick software, a classification scheme,etc., and after much research, planned how I thought performers would like their library set up. I discovered that many important donations of music and recordings had been given to the Academy over at least 25 years, so I would be needed for at least my lifetime! To name a few: Harry and Frances Marr Adaskin; Horace Plimley, BC Kodaly Society; Kemeny Record Collection; David Lemon Record Collection. When I go to work each day I feel as though I am chipping away at a mountain. Will I ever see my library completely catalogued? It is now taking shape, however and I welcome any of you to come and see a library in the making. Perhaps next spring?
Catherine Gearhart
As many of you know who joined me for an impromptu get together after the last annual meeting, I moved to a new house. This move meant that both of my children started new schools this year which was more traumatic for the parents than the children as far as I could tell. Julian started Middle School and Colin 2nd grade. It certainly doesn't seem like eight years since Colin was peacefully sleeping on Barbara's couch at the Portland 1990 meeting. Husband is fine, loving his computer job in Bellevue, but missing not playing in a band. He may remedy that soon.
The Cataloging Division managed to fill some empty Librarian positions so my work life is becoming more sane and manageable. I've been contributing to the NACO Project (not NACO Music yet) which I've really been enjoying. We became an OCLC Enhance library for computer files cataloging this year which is an interesting experience.
As your new Vice Chair/Chair Elect, I'm looking forward to planning the meeting in May and participating in this part of the Chapter management that I have yet to be exposed to. I'll also take this opportunity to stress the fact that it is crucial to the life of the Chapter that we ALL take responsibility for running it which means saying "yes" even when it is easier not to when that poor Elections Chairperson calls. So start thinking about it now. We need all of you.
John Gibbs
New databases, from Don to Giovanni, RISM Series A/II, IIMP and RILM were added to our public PC menu (See http://www.lib.washington.edu/ libinfo/libunits/soc-hum/music/databases.html for databases now available in the Music Library). A new PC workstation was also added. In addition to providing online and printed documentation for these databases, a new series of pathfinders for applied studios called "Alla Breve: Cutting Time in the Library" was developed(http://www.lib.washington.edu/music/allabreve.html). The Index to Popular Songs in Collections and Fakebooks was converted to a WWW searchable index(http://www.lib.washington.ed/asp/databases/music/PopSongBrowse.asp). and we are now working on our Index to Art Songs and Arias in Collections as a searchable index some time this coming year.
Deborah Pierce has developed a drop-in class: Searching Music and Sound Recordings on the UW Online Catalog and we are exploring ways to increase bibliographic instruction (especially to faculty!)
David Wood retired after 30 years of service as Music Librarian.
Harry Miller was hired as part-time Computer-based Services Librarian in May and left for a full-time position as music librarian for Sunhawk Corp.
Terry Horner
It has been over a year now since I joined the staff at the music library here at UBC. Although most of my duties pertain to cataloguing, I am also assisting Kirsten with reference and collections development. I continue to coordinate the CIP Program for Canada's western provinces.
For over a year we have been anxiously awaiting the completion of renovations to two offices in order that we can accommodate three new staff members in the Music Library. This will double the staff there. I and two industrious library assistants from the Cataloguing Division hope to join the Music Library staff sometime before Christmas. This move is part of the decentralization of our central cataloguing division.
To incorporate the backlog into a relatively small space, we have been decreasing our backlog at an increasing rate. Our CD backlog is almost eliminated and our video backlog is non-existent. This has come about due to the fact that we are now using source copy for CD's instead of creating labor-intensive in-house records. We hope to move the scores along at a faster rate when our Levels of Cataloguing Guidelines have been implemented in the new year.
This is my first time as a member of the PNWMLA. I look forward to meeting many of you when Vancouver will host the next meeting.
Leslie Bennett
This past year, the Music Services Department has been graced with a huge number of the Canby recordings, dutifully cataloged by Chris Grandy. (In case you haven't heard my saga, the UO got 17,000 LP's from Edward Tatnell Canby, who is a reviewer for Audio magazine. We picked them up in 1989-and they have been awaiting their rebirth since then.)
We've also seen a turn over in staff- my assistant left to do graduate work in Arts Administration, and a long-time employee of the UO Payroll Department, Deanne DuFresne, took his place at the beginning of the school year. Needless to say, life has been exciting!
I got promoted to full professor, thanks to some nice letters from my colleagues, including Paula Elliot. While this doesn't mean fame and fortune, at least it means that I only have to go up for contract renewal every three years for the rest of my career. The new Duckles' fifth edition, edited by Ida Reed, has the fruits of my promotional work- I did the jazz and popular music discography sections and learned more about the riches of the Multnomah Public Library than I ever imagined were there!
I wish you all a good year- and send a plea for those of you who attend other groups' conferences to volunteer for the MLA desk when we exhibit. You'll be surprised how fun it can be and how many nice people you'll meet!
Melissa Taylor
Since participating in the PNW MLA meeting in May, Experience Music Project has celebrated two milestones. First, on June 13, 1997 we held a groundbreaking for our 130,000-square-foot museum designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry. Like most groundbreakings, the ceremony included hard hats, shovels, and speeches by dignitaries. Of course, it also included rock 'n' roll provided by local artists The Kingsmen, Mudhoney, and The Presidents of the United States of America. For the grand finale, the three bands, joined by EMP founder Paul Allen, performed a rousing rendition of the Northwest rock anthem, "Louie Louie." Work on the museum is progressing. Keep an eye on the site of our future home at the Seattle Center, just North of the Space Needle on 5th Avenue between Thomas and Harrison streets.
While the museum building itself is still under construction, the EMP Web site (which previewed at the PNW MLA meeting in May) was launched on July 2, 1997. The site, located at http://www.experience.org/, allows visitors to experience rock 'n' roll through a variety of online exhibits that highlight artifacts from the museum's collection and provide a preview of what the physical museum will offer. For music librarians, the site offers a variety of useful information. The Northwest Passage area features in-depth information on the bands of the 80s and 90s that created the Seattle Sound. The Set List section of the site is an on-line, weekly listing of Seattle clubs and the bands and music that they will be featuring. Detailed information about the clubs, including addresses and ticket prices and audio clips and bios about performing bands make Set List the best source of information about live music in Seattle. The Vault section highlights artifacts from the Experience Music Project collection and is updated daily. Also, if your patrons have any questions about EMP, the EMP Backstage section of the site includes press releases, facts about our collections, programs, and building. This sections is also the place to look for EMP email addresses and information on subscribing to Feedback, EMP's quarterly magazine.
Behind the scenes at EMP, the collections staff continue to catalog artifacts and work with the technology group to develop a state-of-the-art collections information system. When the museum opens, this system will allow visitors to explore in-depth the exhibits and stories told in the galleries, and provide access to those objects from the collection that are not currently on display.
