BOX 1-116, 120-174, 178-186 Music, 1931-2019
Scores, sketches, and parts for compositions by Wuorinen and others. Materials include holograph and manuscript items, computer printouts of works created with music notation software, printed music, and photoreproductions.
Organized as three subseries.
Music by Charles Wuorinen, 1949-2019
This subseries contains holograph, reproduction, computer printout, and published print scores, parts, and sketches of Wuorinen’s compositions. He used both "sketch" and "draft" to describe early versions of works; additionally, some items that appear to be final versions were labeled by Wuorinen as "sketch" or "draft." In both cases, the labels that he used have been maintained. Sketches/drafts are numbered to track the progression of each composition. Wuorinen also included the dates and locations where he composed many of his works on their original folders. These folders were not retained, so the information was photocopied and laid in with its corresponding piece. Computer printout items refer to those created with music notation software. Many items contain Wuorinen's annotations.
