The Arts Ensemble Library's collection of scores is almost entirely a donation from Dr Michael J. Esselstrom, retired faculty of the School of the Arts who conducted the IUSB Philharmonic for many years.
The score collection is divided into two subsections: symphonic repertoire, and music involving a vocal element such as operas and cantatas. Other scores, especially of symphonic repertoire, may be available in the Symphonic Section alongside the instrumental parts.
