Samson et Dalila [collection] : opéra en 3 actes et 4 tableaux / de Ferdinand Lemaire ; musique de Camille Saint-Saëns. 1890-1910.

Arranged in four groups: I. Vocal scores (50). II. Chorus scores (34). III. Chorus parts (129). IV. Orchestra parts (52). The vocal scores include an English edition by Schirmer (New York, 1892) and three distinct editions by Durand (Paris, 189-?): one in French, one in Italian, and one in French and German. There are also three editions of the chorus score, all in English: Ditson (Boston, 1907), Schirmer (New York, 1892), and a holograph version by Tams (?) (New York, 189-?) in which the accompaniment is omitted. The chorus parts are also holograph and in French. The orchestra parts are manuscript and occur as two sets, one of which corresponds to the "condensed version" of the work. All are heavily annotated.
