Remo Belli International Percussion Library

Booth Library purchased the music collection of Frank's Drum Shop of Chicago in 1988 when it closed its doors. This acquisition was dedicated and named the Remo Belli International Percussion Library in July 1989. It consists of more than 2500 titles of percussion scores, parts, and methods books, most of which are in multiple copies. Publishers and composers have been cooperating in the development of the collection by placing their recent publications here. In summer of 1999, Professor Thomas Siwe of Urbana, Illinois donated over 600 musical scores to enrich the percussion library.

All items are available to scholars and performers for use at Booth Library or through interlibrary borrowing. Either I-Share or OCLC may be used in locating materials. Ask your local library how to arrange a loan from Booth Library.
