Music sources for Kurt Weill's Royal palace in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1925-[ongoing].

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.) Materials on Royal palace include the following: a photocopy of the copyist's vocal score, which served as the basis for the published vocal score; the vocal score issued by Universal-Edition as rental material; and a "lyric dance drama" version, arranged and orchestrated by Gunther Schuller.
