Music at the Morgan: Collection Highlights The list on the following pages is a selection of highlights from the music holdings at the Morgan Library & Museum. Browse the list alphabetically by composer and title or search within the document using Control-F or Command-F. For more information about any item, search our library catalog, CORSAIR. This list is representative but not comprehensive. It features 850 items from the 40,000 in the Morgan’s full music holdings spanning six centuries, including eleven hundred music manuscripts, twelve thousand rare printed scores, seven thousand musicians’ letters, thousands of librettos, playbills, and portraits, and the world’s largest repository of Gilbert and Sullivan materials. Learn about the Morgan’s music holdings here, and access our Research Guide here. While the list contains only a representative sampling from our music holdings, it includes two categories of manuscript not available in Music Manuscripts Online, our online repository of digitized manuscripts: those still in copyright, and those in the Robert Owen Lehman collection held on deposit at the Morgan. Lehman collection items are blue in the list. The Morgan’s collections are also accessible via in-person visits to our Reading Room (by permission and appointment) and via Digital Imaging requests (by permission). We invite you to explore the musical riches at the Morgan. In addition to our collections of rare music materials, the Morgan’s vibrant concerts, both online and in our Gilder Lehrman Hall, feature exceptional artists presenting programs from early music to contemporary works, often drawing from our music collections.
