Auber, D. F. E. (Daniel François Esprit), 1782-1871. Tams-Witmark collection, 1701-1915 (bulk 1801-1900).

Title: Tams-Witmark collection, 1701-1915 (bulk 1801-1900).

The Tams-Witmark Collection contains music (manuscript and printed scores) that was being performed in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The scope of the collection ranges from eighteenth century operas of Handel and Glück to a musical by George M. Cohan. The bulk of the materials are nineteenth century English, French, German, and Italian operas and operettas, the majority in full score, with some instrumental parts. Most of the scores have been annotated with cuts and performance markings, and some feature reduced or non-standard orchestrations. Early nineteenth century opera is represented chiefly by Italian composers such as Cimarosa, Cherubini, and Rossini. The collection contains numerous scores by French composers, particularly Auber and Meyerbeer. Mid- to late-nineteenth century opera is well represented, with works by Verdi and Wagner, as well as lesser-known composers such as Ignaz Brüll, Filippo Marchetti, and Ernest Reyer. Operettas constitute a large portion of the collection, including those by Jacques Offenbach, Franze von Suppé, Johann Strauss, Jr., and Karl Millöcker. Reginald DeKoven, Julian Edwards, and Victor Herbert are well-represented in the collection. The collection also contains a small amount of concert music, including secular and sacred choral works, patriotic music, symphonic scores, and incidental music.
