Lieurance, Thurlow, 1878-1963. Thurlow Lieurance letters to Will Owen Jones [manuscript], 1922 Mar 23 and 1923 Sep 29.

Title: Thurlow Lieurance letters to Will Owen Jones [manuscript], 1922 Mar 23 and 1923 Sep 29.

Letter #1: 1922 Mar 23. Explains in detail why he has asked him [Jones] to recall a notice from Nebraska State Journal, although the notice was published in The Star. He encloses a proof of a newspaper paragraph with "Killed at request of Mr. Roseborough" and "Will Owen Jones" written on it in pencil. The article concerned Mme. Matzenauer and her intention to include some songs composed by Lieurance in her coming recital in Lincoln, Nebraska, and names the four songs. Letter #2: 1923 Sep 29. Answers a note from Jones, saying he is about to leave for "our concert tour...and will try to have luncheon with you about November 1st." He encloses a notice of "our joint appearance with the Tabernacle Choir at the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City...on November 22nd." He remarks that the "Mormons are interested in my program and the Indian feature as it connects up pretty closely with the Book of Mormon History, at least the scientific part, the whole tone scale of the Indian flute which can be traced back through many generations of races. The Mormons, of course, believe that the Indians are one of the lost tribes of Israel."

Koussevitzky, Serge, 1874-1951. Serge Koussevitzky Archive, 1920-1976 (bulk: 1924-1951)

Title: Serge Koussevitzky Archive 1920-1976 (bulk 1924-1951)

The archive is a collection of correspondence, personal and business papers, photographs, and other materials which document some of the most significant aspects of twentieth-century music. Through his work as a conductor and publisher, and his efforts to commission new musical works, Koussevitzky maintained deep ties with many of the finest composers and musicians of the day. These figures are represented in their personal and professional affiliations with the conductor. In addition to serving as a record of Koussevitzky's life and career, the collection extensively chronicles periods in the history of organizations such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Berkshire Music Center, the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, and the American International Music Fund. Material in the collection dates from Koussevitzky's years in his native Russia. The bulk of the collection dates from 1924 to 1951; it also contains material created after Koussevitzky's death, reflecting his widow's continuing work with various organizations and projects. Musical compositions commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky are part of the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation Collection, and are shelved in ML30.3c, ML30.3c2, ML30.3c3, and ML30.3e2.
