Music sources for Kurt Weill's Lost in the stars in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1949-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122579871

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 Lost in the stars are the following: photocopies of the full score used in the first production; the Chappell full score (rental material); full score edited and corrected by David Abell; vocal score of an adaptation by Alan Anderson and Burgess Meredith; full score of Lys Symonette's German translation; vocal scores of several numbers cut from the show; and extensive materials for David Drew's concert version, principally for the numbers Gold! and Bird of passage.
