BOX 219R-234R, 296R | Legal Papers, 1973-2010 (Restricted) | ||||||||||||
This series contains correspondence, invoices, and additional materials related to
civil cases and proceedings between Norman, L’Orchidee, Inc., and law firms in the
United States and England. A large portion of the papers are from Edmonds and
Beier, LLP, who represented Norman from approximately 1988 to 1995. Of note are
documents pertaining to major legal disputes in Norman’s career: a libel case
against The Times (London), a contract and rights
dispute with RM Arts and the British Broadcasting Company, and a dispute with the
Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission and KCTS Television. Researchers should be aware that files from the law firm of Kornstein, Veisz, and Wexler, LLP and those of attorney Robert Perlstein overlap on a number of topics. Perlstein worked as a "of counsel" attorney for Kornstein, Veisz, and Wexler, LLP during his time as Norman’s representation. While Perlstein represented Norman for the firm of Kornstein, Veisz, and Wexler, LLP, he was not an associate or partner of the firm. |

This series represents the full breadth of repertoire that Norman performed in recitals and on the opera stage. It consists almost entirely of annotated, printed scores for original works and arrangements of songs, full operas and excerpts, and orchestral works with voice. In addition to showcasing Norman's most frequently performed works, these materials demonstrate her interest in and support of the African American spiritual tradition. The extensively annotated scores provide insight into her training and performance practices. The series also contains material for special recording projects and events, as well as some amount of unsolicited scores sent to Norman for consideration. A date associated with a title reflects the latest copyright date present on the item. | |||||||||||||
