Library Guides: Music: Find Scores

Find Scores

Discover@MU
A simple and fast search engine that helps you find relevant information on any topic from the University of Missouri Libraries’ collections. Results contain citations for scholarly journal articles, books and e-books, DVDs, magazines, newspapers, and dissertations.

Discover@MU includes musical scores. Search a composer's name (surname first!) as an author and then limit by format - musical scores.

Note, you may find listings for online scores that are licensed by UMKC. Unfortunately the vendors don't allow us to share online resources as we share print resources. To exclude these from your search add NOT electronic to your search.
