Music sources for Kurt Weill's River is blue in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1937-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122488504

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 The river is blue include the following: the copyist's ms. piano score (the music was never orchestrated); and a photocopy of a manuscript piano-vocal score for a song entitled The river is so blue, with lyrics by Ann Ronell.
