Richards, Mary Caroline. Mary Caroline Richards papers, 1928-1994.

Title: Mary Caroline Richards papers, 1928-1994.

The Richards papers document her lifetime of work as first a scholar and teacher of English literature, then her work as a poet, potter, and translator, and finally her lectures, workshops and writings in art education. The papers emphasize the period, the 1940s and 1950s, during which Richards served on the faculty of Black Mountain College. Here she formed friendships with many artists, including the musicians John Cage, David Tudor, Lou Harrison, the so-called Black Mountain poets, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, and Robert Duncan, and in dance, Merce Cunningham and Remy Charlip. Visual artists with whom she was associated include Lyle Bongé, and Joe Fiore, as well as the many students she taught. Richards extensive correspondence (12 linear ft.) documents her warm friendships with these artists, her students, and with many others. This series comprises the largest part of the archive. Also included are manuscripts and lectures by Richards, including her dissertation, articles, translations, books, and her poetry. Many of her writings reveal her philosophy of education, and the value she placed on the arts as a means to self-expression. Manuscripts by others include those by Lou Harrison, Dick Higgins, Jackson Mac Low, and Cage's "Indeterminacy" stories, handwritten with corrections and dedicated to Richards. Other materials include her diaries, notebooks and sketchbooks, photographs and printed matter, and original artwork by Richards and her students, with some pieces by established artists.

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.
