Sheet music vendors are disappearing as well. There are

A heretical thought, but for mainstream and not-so
mainstream out-of-copyright repertoire, there's Dover and
EveryNote.com.

My favorite source of sheet music has a PhD in music from MSU and a
computer.

He listens to music from CDs, MP3s, and live sources, plays the melody on
a
MIDI keyboard or just pokes it in with a mouse, arranges the parts in a
similar fashion, checks the music out with a PC-based MIDI synth driving
a
pair of studio monitors, and prints out sheet music for the musicians,
who
are my friends.

My part of the deal is that I help pay his salary, supply him with audio
hardware, and mix his live performances. For example, his studio monitors
are branded "NHT Pro".

All well and good and all of us with the proper talent, experience, and
access to the equipment can do it, but it from address the issue for my
colleagues and me.

I was given a copy of the score of Amerique. Someday I'll listen to my
Nagano-conducted recording with it in hand. While I'm sure Arny's friend
does a good job transcribing tunes and making arrangements, I don't
think he'll be doing much Varese.

What a great work that is.

BTW, I had my first personal exposure to Kent Nagano this summer; a week
of following him around, conversation, watching 8 rehearsals and taking
notes, being his "ears in the hall". What a FANTASTIC person and
musician.
