Music sources for Kurt Weill's Ballad of Magna Carta in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1940-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/152675248

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 Ballad of Magna Carta are the following: a photocopy of holograph full and rehearsal (vocal) scores, a nearly complete set of parts from the first performance, a copyist's manuscript of the vocal score (1940?), the first and second proofs of the 1940 ed. of the Chappell vocal score (1940), and the Chappell vocal score of 19[76?].

As a result of the success of his Broadway musical Lady in the dark in 1941, German-born composer Kurt Weill and his wife, the singing actress Lotte Lenya, were able to buy "Brook House," in Rockland County, New York, moving there during their sixth year in the United States.
