BOX 1-8 Music, 1892-1943
This series is the largest in the collection, consisting of six subseries. The first five subseries encompass Hopekirk's manuscipts and are organized by genre. Made up of approximately eighty titled works as well as additional sketches and sketchbooks, Hopekirk's music manuscripts depict the breadth of compositional work she completed during her lifetime, including an appreciation of Scottish folk-songs and musical settings for poetry and literature. The final subseries, Works by Others, contains manuscript and printed works from Hopekirk's personal collection with many of the titles inscribed to Hopekirk by the composers. Materials include holograph full scores, scores for piano, piano-vocal scores, parts, and lyric sheets.
Orchestral, 1892-1894
This subseries contains holograph full scores and parts for seven of Hopekirk's orchestral works. Several titles include multiple versions of the full score. Of note is the full orchestration of Concertstück with instrumental parts as well as an arrangement of the work for two pianos.
