| BOX 17-26 | Course Materials, 1966-2002 | ||||||||||||
| Lewin's teaching materials from his courses at State University of New York at Stony Brook, Yale University, Harvard University, and other educational venues, such as conferences and seminars. Since Lewin reused his materials over the years and it wasn't always clear to which university a given set of items belonged, most of the materials are arranged under the four main topics that Lewin taught: counterpoint, history of tonal theory, application of math to music, and text and musical structure. The materials include lecture notes, handouts, assignments, scores, syllabi, bibliographies, exams, student work and presentations, copies of articles and chapters from books, including Lewin's own work, correspondence, administrative materials, and notes and writings in which Lewin is working out an issue, problem or example for class. | |||||||||||||
| Arranged alphabetically by course name. | |||||||||||||
| BOX 17 | Administrative Materials, circa 1970-2002 | ||||||||||||
| See also the other subseries for additional administrative materials. | |||||||||||||
| A selection of administrative items, chiefly from Harvard University. Most of the materials relate to Lewin, his students, and classes; however, there are a few items of a more general nature. Materials include course lists, doctoral exams for five students, a financial report, and graduate program information. There are also section rosters from Yale University and a theory placement exam from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. | |||||||||||||

| BOX 17-19 | Counterpoint, circa 1976-2000 | ||||||||||||
| Materials relating to both counterpoint courses that Lewin taught: modal, or species counterpoint; and tonal counterpoint. The modal courses include various versions of Lewin's main text for teaching species counterpoint: the Led Zeppelin Fake Book, which Lewin supplemented over the years with examples, notes and elaborations. There are assignments and exercises using compositions by Lasso, Palestrina and others, which may contain Lewin's formal descriptions of the assignments and his handwritten notes. The tonal counterpoint materials mostly contain Lewin's assignments, which contain detailed instructions and musical examples for writing chorale preludes, inventions and a fugal exposition. Both courses contain typewritten and handwritten lecture notes, printed and handwritten scores, copies of articles and textbook chapters, and administrative materials. | |||||||||||||
