BOX 96-100 Miscellaneous Music, undated
The Miscellaneous Music (Series II) is mostly comprised of copies of late songs by Kern. Many of these were songs that were cut from films, or written for unproduced projects. In some cases, lyrics were added to previously unused works after Kern's death. Apparently, most of this material came from the files of T. B. Harms, Inc. (Kern's publisher) and some appear to have been transcribed from recordings made by Kern.
Arrangement of the Miscellaneous Music (Series II) is divided into two subseries. The first subseries, Titled, is sorted alphabetically by title. The second subseries, Untitled, is arranged by folder level description.
