The Library of Congress is pleased to announce a new Finding Aid for: Yiddish American Popular Sheet Music at the Library of Congress http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/html/yiddish/yiddish-about.html
The Library's holdings of Yiddish American popular songs include the Irene Heskes Collection of Yiddish American sheet music (drawn from the archives of the Hebrew Publishing Company during her New York project in 1980) as well as copyright deposits already in the custody of the Library and materials drawn from other Library collections, primarily in the Hebraic Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division and the Music Division. The majority of the selections found here originated in the Yiddish theater, but popular-style arrangements of folk songs and sacred songs as well as instrumental numbers can also be found. The site also provides links to related resources at the Library of Congress.
