Music, 1897-1983 (continued)
Music by Others, 1897-1983
This subseries contains compositions, arrangements, and published scores by composers in holograph, facsimile, copyist manuscript, and printed formats. Most scores are inscribed to Luiz Heitor, jointly to Luiz Heitor and his wife Violeta, or to Violeta. Most composers are Brazilian with additional works by composers from Mexico, Argentina, and Cuba. Composers of note who inscribed scores include Francis Poulenc, Luciano Gallet, M. Camargo Guarnieri, Gilberto Mendes, Andrzej Panufnik, Jose Geraldo de Souza, and Josip Slavenski. Also of note are multiple holograph scores and sketches of Francisco Mignone, some with personal inscriptions. Additional holograph scores of note were composed for UNESCO’s centenary celebration of Chopin’s death in 1949 by Lennox Berkeley, Oscar Esplá, Jacques Ibert, Andrzej Panufnik, and Alexandre Tansman, as well as a signed facsimile by Gian Francesco Malipiero. Additional holograph and facsimile scores are harmonizations of Brazilian folk songs, including arrangements for Luiz Heitor by Edith Barroso, Guiomar Beltrão Frederico, and Leticia Figueiredo.
Printed scores include Brazilian popular music and chôros; nationalistic songs of Brazil and Portugal; classical works for piano, chamber ensembles, and large ensembles; and songs for voice and piano. Most undated printed compositions are late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century first editions by composers such as Léo Kessler and Augusto Stresser and Brazilian publishers including Arthur Napoleão, Vieira Machado, Lino José Barbosa, Edição E.A.M (Radio Continental Ltd.), and Edição Bevilacqua. A late-nineteenth or early twentieth-century Mexican edition of a piano work by Mexican composer Melesio Morales is also of note. Many published piano editions without inscriptions contain performance markings, including those of Violeta prior to her marriage to Luiz Heitor. Some scores in this subseries have stamps in Portuguese indicating folder ("Pasta") and item or work ("Obra") numbers, a possible indication that Luiz Heitor cataloged, specially filed, or acquired his personal library.
Select published music without marginalia or inscriptions have been incorporated into the general collections of the Music Division with the exception of rare titles or imprints, such as the official hymn of UNESCO and nineteenth- to early twentieth- century sheet music from select Brazilian publishers. Lists of those titles transferred or surplused can be found here.
