Juilliard Repertory Project
After the conclusion of the Yale Seminar, Dean Gideon Waldrop of Juilliard applied for a grant from the U.S. Office of Education to develop a large body of authentic and meaningful music materials to augment and enrich the repertory available to music teachers in the early grades. The grant was approved and the Project was established in July, 1964 with Vittorio Giannini as director. The Music Educators National Conference (MENC) indicated its support in the Music Educators Journal. The purpose of the Project was to collect music of high quality to be used for teaching grades K-6. The repertory was complied by three groups: musicologists, music educators, and public elementary school music teachers. 230 vocal and instrumental works were included in the Juilliard Repertory Library.

Famous quotes containing the words repertory and/or project:
“Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, and Samuel Beckett one—and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
