Container	Contents

	Music, 1814-2019, (bulk 1870-2019)
		The Music series contains two subseries, Publication Packets and Printed Music. The Publication Packets subseries is the most likely location for holograph and manuscript music, as well as contracts, correspondence, notes, and financial information about the publication of the work. The Printed Music subseries contains both bound and loose printed music for piano, chorus, chamber ensembles, band, and orchestra published by Theodore Presser Company and its imprints and subsidiaries. A title may appear in both publication packets and also in its published, printed form, so researchers are advised to check both subseries. Please note that some words typically used in song titles do not match the language preferred by members of the communities to which they refer.
		Arranged in two subseries.
		Publication Packets, 1828-2019, (bulk) 1867-2019
			For each title Theodore Presser Company and its subsidiaries published, employees kept materials related to the publishing process together in a large brown paper envelope, a "publication packet" or "pub pack." Contents may include holograph scores (and sometimes parts), galley proofs (many with annotations), contracts, correspondence, invoices for printing and supplies, estimates, deadlines, notes, and other items. Occasionally there is no music present, only documents concerning the publication process. Physical description of publication packet contents are provided for certain composers. Works with more than one composer are located under the heading "Multiple composers." Circa dates are copyright dates and indicate approximately when the music may have been composed.
			Arranged alphabetically by composer and title therein.
