Michael Stewart scores, 1870-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79418849

The Michael Stewart scores consist of sheet music from both produced and unproduced Stewart shows from the 1940s through the 1980s. Among the original scores for Broadway shows represented in this collection are Cy Coleman's Barnum (1980) and I Love My Wife (1979), and Max Showalter's additional music for Harrigan 'n Hart (1985). The Michael Stewart scores also contain an extensive amount of material for shows which were presented in places other than New York, including John Addison's score for The Amazons (1971), Shelley Mowell's Solomon Grundy (1953), and Jule Styne's musical version of Treasure Island, Pieces of Eight (1985). Although he chose not to be credited on the production, Stewart also assisted in the 1984 Broadway revival of Rudolph Friml's The Three Musketeers and the collection includes the music for many Friml songs. There are also collections of late nineteenth and early twentieth century music, including numerous songs by the composers Harry Warren, George M. Cohan, and David Braham that were gathered as research for the projects, 42nd Street, George M! and Harrigan 'n Hart respectively. The scores are arranged alphabetically by show title and by song title within each show.
