| | Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library: Music in the Beinecke |
 | | Of the two secular music manuscripts, one is a series of sixteenth-century hunting calls (MS 200) and the other, MS 91, one of the world's most celebrated collections of medieval songs, known as the Mellon Chansonnier after its last private owner, who presented it to Yale in 1940. |
 | | Given Goethe's enormous influence on the music of the nineteenth century, its large musical component is not surprising. |
 | | The bicentenary of Schubert's birth was commemorated in 1997 by an exhibition; the centenary of Poulenc, in 1999, by a talk by Ned Rorem and a concert by Robert Blocker, 1995 Hon., Dean of the Yale School of Music, and baritone Richard Lalli, 1980 Grad. |
