BOX 1 |
Music, 1865-1931
|
|
This series consists chiefly of manuscript and printed scores, the majority
of which are songs from Broadway musicals and other American popular music.
Freedley composed four of these works and autographed the piano-vocal score
for "If You But Smile." The manuscripts for George and Ira Gershwin’s works
are notable for their annotations, and the lyrics for the song "I Love a
Simple Way," from the musical A Dangerous Maid (1921), are written in Ira Gershwin’s hand. Also present are Ray
Henderson’s piano and piano-vocal scores for three songs from the musical
comedy Hold Everything! (1928), which ran for 409 performances. Several additional items
are inscribed to Freedley, including the piano-vocal scores for John H.
Densmore’s "Love Lightly" (1916) and Herbert Johnson’s "Mr. Jacqemont"
(1916), as well as an unidentified vocal score titled "Finale." This series
also contains compositions by Joseph Alger, Jas A. Brennan, Hoagy
Carmichael, Vernon Duke, Virginia Gabriel, Ray Henderson, Burton Lane, Jimmy
McHugh, and Lee S. Roberts, along with unidentified holograph scores and
sketches. |
