Norman Luboff collection, 1955-1988 (bulk 1955-1979).

The Norman Luboff Collection contains Luboff's working music library of choral works and songs, most of which are composed and/or arranged by him, comprise more than 130 of the boxes. These scores include printed music as well as autograph scores by Luboff and others, and arrangements, often accompanied instrumental parts and performed by the Norman Luboff Chorale in concert and on recording. Most of these materials date from the mid-1950s to the late 1970s. A collection of more than 480 folk song books collected and assembled by Luboff throughout his career was also given to the Library. Particularly interesting among the non-music items is a fascinating series of programs, itineraries, and other documents related to Norman Luboff Choir tours spanning the period 1963 to 1988.
