Series 3 contains the recording activities of Technichord Records. This includes a
notebook kept by Greenough of acetate discs recorded for Dr. Harold Spivacke of
the Library of Congress. Dating from 1937, this notebook contains meticulous
notations of speeds, styli, pre-amplifier settings, main amplifier settings, and
degrees of equalization used by Greenough to make his recordings. This series also
contains worksheets of performance recordings. The programs Greenough kept of the
performances he recorded are one of the highlights in this series. Spanning the
years from 1938 to 1969, these programs are from the Harvard Glee Club, including
one with Nadia Boulanger as guest conductor, organ recitals of E. Power Biggs at
Harvard University, a 1949 dinner honoring Serge Koussevitzky, Berkshire Music
Center programs, and The Juilliard School of Music programs. |
