| BOX 1-26, 71-90, 91-127, 130 | Music by Adams, 1961-2017 | ||||||||||||
| This subseries contains sketches, manuscript scores, scores for conducting, and occasional parts. There are also libretti, research materials, costume sketches, artwork, tickets, notes, schedules, errata, photographs, clippings, invitations, and correspondence present. Conducting scores are annotated by Adams and were specifically used for that purpose while other scores with annotations have compositional emendations or markings related to music engraving. Adams had music engravers, primarily David Ocker, enter his compositions into music notation software. Adams then annotated the computer printouts. Along with the manuscripts, these printouts make up a significant portion of the Music by Adams. | |||||||||||||
