Music sources for Kurt Weill's Huckleberry Finn in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1950-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122346908

The collection forms part of Series 10, which consists mainly of music manuscripts: non-autograph originals and photocopies of both non-autographs and autographs. It also includes rental materials and some arrangements by other composers. Briefly stated, all music materials for the works of Weill other than those offered for sale by publishers are included, whether in score or parts, as long as they present his music without fundamentally altering its character. (For more details on inclusion/exclusion, see the record for the whole series--"Music sources for the works of Kurt Weill ...," ID NYWS94-A2.) Of particular importance in the collection of materials on Huckleberry Finn are the following: scores and sets of parts for all five songs in orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett, Apple jack and the Catfish song in orchestrations by Milton Rosenstock, a photocopy of the holograph of River chanty, and scores with German translations of Apple jack and River chanty written in; much of this material was used in connection with a television production by Westdeutsche Fernsehen.
