BOX 1-6, 9 Music and Lyric Sheets, circa 1935-2004
This series largely contains printed piano-vocal scores, lyric sheets, and related correspondence for songs that Horn performed.
Organized as two subseries.
BOX 1-6, 9 Music, circa 1935-2000
This subseries primarily contains printed or photocopied piano-vocal scores, most of which are annotated or represent songs that Horn recorded. Many charts have accompanying lyric sheets. The charts for Horn’s recording projects Light Out of Darkness (A Tribute to Ray Charles), Loving You, and You Won’t Forget Me are kept together as originally received. Some composers or lyricists included letters to Horn with their music. These letters are laid in and noted where appropriate. Correspondents include Carroll Coates, Richard Rodney Bennett, and Johnny Mercer. Unannotated charts for popular songs were not retained; a list of these titles is found in Appendix A. Many songwriters sent examples of their work to Horn for consideration. A large portion of this music was not retained, but these titles and their associated composers and lyricists are also part of Appendix A. Letters that accompanied unsolicited music are located among correspondence in the Business Papers series.
Arranged alphabetically by title.
