The David Wendell Guion Collection consists of handwritten manuscripts of Guion's music from about 1902 to 1937, primarily influenced by cowboy songs and African-American spirituals. All pieces are written for piano, and some have lyrics. Individual titles include "Home on the Range," "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "Turkey in the Straw," and others. Also included are scores for two larger works, Ballet Primitive, "Shingandi" and selections from the opera Suzanne. Collaborations with lyricists include extensive work with Marie Wardall and Jessie B. Rittenhouse.
