Tudor, David, 1926-1996. David Tudor papers, 1884-1998 (bulk 1940-1996)

Title: David Tudor papers, 1884-1998 (bulk 1940-1996)

The collection comprehensively documents David Tudor's participation in post-World War II experimental and avant-garde music and aspects of his personal life until his death in 1996. Scores by other composers, notably John Cage, Earle Brown, Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff, Sylvano Bussotti and Karlheinz Stockhausen, Tudor's realizations of their scores and his electronic compositional materials, form the most significant part of the collection. Extensive project files concern the scheduling and development of his piano concerts, electronic compositions and performances with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Electronic research files with equipment catalogs and notes show how Tudor taught himself complicated mathematics, equipment systems and circuitry in order to gain the requisite technical knowledge to compose his electronic work. Articles and reviews, a nearly complete set of Tudor's programs, more than 500 audio tapes, some videotapes, and photographs augment the documentation of his performing and composing activities. Letters from friends and colleagues involved with music and the visual arts reveal the respect and devotion Tudor commanded as a serious interpreter and creator of avant-garde music. The collection also contains personal effects, including recipes, notes, and various materials concerning his spiritual beliefs, and his financial records.

Tudor, David, 1926-. David Tudor Papers, 1943-1989 (bulk 1950-1965).

Title: David Tudor Papers, 1943-1989 (bulk 1950-1965).

The David Tudor Papers primarily document Tudor's work as an interpreter of the experimental and avant-garde music of the 1950s and the early 1960s. The collection contains scores from Tudor's repertoire of that period, frequently in pre-publication form, sometimes together with the composer's preliminary sketches. Tudor's work on these scores is represented by a large number of worksheets and realizations prepared for performance. The progress of a given piece may thus at times be traced from the composer's initial ideas and sketches up to Tudor's finished performance. The musical materials are augmented by the presence of letters, primarily from composers presenting or explaining their work, and documentation of performances in the form of programs, posters, recording contracts and reviews.
