Daily News | ‘Rubber Duckie’ and other tunes land at Philadelphia Free Library, donated by Sesame Street’s Bob
Amid the Mendelssohn and Bach, tucked into the stacks of scores and other source material for music specialists, the Edwin A. Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music has acquired a new star score: “Rubber Duckie.”
“There really is no one quite like Bob McGrath,” says Gary Galván, special collection curator for music for the Fleisher and other music collections at the Free Library. It was the place to go since, unlike many music libraries, its mission is to keep music in circulation so it can be heard. The Fleisher calls itself the largest lending library of orchestral scores and parts in the world, with 22,000 titles. It has a complete collection of the standard repertoire, plus many more specialized pockets of concentration. So far in the 2022-23 season, the Fleisher has circulated 8,356 scores and parts to 101 performing organizations in 11 countries.
