Sometimes you may know the title of a song or aria, but may not know who wrote it.  In such a case, just enter the title with material type set to Music Scores in our old catalog, or launch your search on our new discover.library.unt.edu  catalog and select Music Socres from the facets on the results page.

TIP:  Sometimes you may not spell titles of arias or classical songs correctly, or you may not spell them the same way as our catalog lists them.  Our catalog is unforgiving in such cases.  If a search brings no results, it often helps to search Google using whatever information you  have.  Google will likely take you to the correct spelling, thus enabling you to find the work in our catalog.
