Notes for musicians to download/read parts

If you are new to International Music Score Library Project (imslp.org), they have a trove of online public domain materials available. While we are using their materials for reading purposes, our “official” concert music is separately edited (bowings, etc.) and put in this folder for you to conveniently access. 

The imslp.org site has a “subscription,” but you can access parts even without one. The subscription simply allows you to skip the 15-second waiting process. Be sure you look at the TOP of the “waiting” page and you will see a countdown. It is easy to miss.

How to find your part on imslp.org:

• Navigate to the linked page or simply search for the composer and title on their website. 
• The site will first list available "Performances." Scroll past those to the "Sheet Music" area. 
• Click on the tab “Parts”–or occasionally, “Arrangements and Transcriptions.” There may be several different part sets available, so either check which one is recommended by NewWSO, or else find the best version. 
• Once you have found the correct part, your browser should give you options to either download, export as PDF, or print it. If you wish to read your part on your smart tablet or iPad, there are a number of helpful apps that you can use (for a purchase price), such as forscore, which has apps for Mac and Android.

When you *attend rehearsal please remember to:

• Bring your music - no extra copies are available
• Bring a stand, a stand light, and a pencil
• Bring your mug for tea and coffee! It’s a great way to help both our budget and the environment. **If you have extra tea, cookies, or snacks at home, feel free to bring them along! We’ll be happy to enjoy them together.
• Arrive early to set up and be ready to play at 7:00pm
• Return your chair to the stack in the back of the room when you leave
• Check this page and review the weekly email reminder before Wednesday to know what we're playing each week and in case of any scheduling changes!

*If you're unable to attend rehearsal, please send an email to our Conductor, Steven Huang. Also kindly let your section lead know.

**Please Note: "Carry In - Carry Out" Rule
Any treats you bring, kindly take with you when you leave—we're unable to store leftover food. Thank you for your cooperation!
