This award was created to support research in archives or libraries
internationally on any aspect of American Music.

Gerboth Award

Awarded annually to members of MLA who are in the first five years of
their professional library careers, to assist research-in-progress in
music or music librarianship.

Daniel Boomhower (Asst. Music Librarian, Princeton Univ.)

The goal of his project is to examine the publication of music by and writings about Johann Sebastian Bach originating in the early- to mid-twentieth century from the German music publisher Bärenreiter-Verlag.  The chronological parameters for the study span from 1923-- the founding year of the firm, to 1954-- the year in which the initial volume of the Neue Bach Ausgabe was published.  Mr. Boomhower's plan is to investigate changes in the firm's publishing program and its reflection of contemporary music interests during this period, specifically the firm's development from a publisher of songs for the Jugendbewegung to the principal scholarly publisher of music editions and criticisms.  Mr. Boomhower's goal is to understand the consequences of mid-twentieth century history on present day musical scholarship and culture.  In the context of his research, Mr. Boomhower is examining all of Bärenreiter's Bach publications within the specified timeframe.

MLA Special Achievement Award & MLA Citation

The Music Library Association Citation is awarded in recognition of
significant contributions to, or support of, the profession of music
librarianship over an extended period of time.  The Association's Special Achievement Award recognizes extraordinary service to the profession of music librarianship.  This is the first time that both awards have been given to a single individual at the same time.

Paula Matthews (Music Librarian, Princeton University)

The awards were made in recognition of her exceptional work for MLA, in
particular for her role as President (1999-2001).
