The Society no longer loans out its sets of vocal and orchestral material. Modern, authoritative vocal- and full-scores and orchestral parts have been published by The Amber Ring and are available to purchase and hire by contacting them at robin@amber-ring.co.uk

Items held in the Society's Library include: copies of an early edition of the vocal score; original printed string parts; manuscript parts for woodwind, brass, percussion, organ and harp.
