BOX 1-11 Music, 1947-2004
This series primarily contains printed scores with pasteovers that were used as printer's masters. As more composers began to use music notation software in the 1990s and 2000s, Boone required them to send manuscript or computer generated scores to Arsis to keep printing costs low and adhered small pieces of paper with copyright information and the ASCAP insignia needed for final printing. In some instances there are multiple score proofs containing composers' annotations and corrections. Composer biographies, cover art, and program or performance notes included in final printed versions of scores are laid in with the music. Claudette Best, another Capitol Hill resident, was the cover designer for all Arsis publications. The music ranges from solo instrumental works to larger-scale works for chorus and instrumentalists. Some notable composers published by Arsis Press include Ruth Crawford Seeger, Mary Jeanne Van Appledorn, Ruth Schonthal, Jeanne Shaffer, and Vivian Fine.
Arranged alphabetically by composer and title therein.
