BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Paul Creston was born Giuseppe Guttovergi on October 10, 1906, in New York City to Italian immigrant parents, Gaspare Guttovergi and Carmela Collura. At age eight, he began taking piano lessons and teaching himself how to play his brother’s violin. Creston also pursued an interest in literature, writing his first poem at age twelve, and starting a novel a year later. Because of poor family finances, Creston’s formal education ended after two and one-half years of high school. During high school, he was nicknamed “Cress” after a character he portrayed in a play. Later in life, he lengthened this name to Creston, chose Paul for a first name, and legally changed his name to Paul Creston in 1944. Creston worked at various businesses, banks, and insurance companies to pay for organ and piano lessons, while studying English, foreign languages, mysticism, music composition, and orchestration on his own. His piano teachers during this period included Gaston Dethier, Carlo Stea, and G. Aldo Randegger.

Although Creston had been composing as a diversion or past-time since age eight, his development as composer increased during the 1920s until 1932, when he finally decided to choose composition as his career. Creston learned how to improvise by working as a theater organist from 1926-1929, and eventually became the organist at St. Malachy’s Church in New York City from 1934 to 1967. In July of 1927, Creston married a dancer, Louise Gotto (1903- 1989), who influenced Creston in his ideas on rhythm and dance. His first premiere was in 1933 with the incidental music to a play Iron Flowers. The Crestons’ first child, Paul Julian, survived only six weeks and was buried on the Crestons’ tenth wedding anniversary, July 1, 1937. But on Thanksgiving Day, 1938, the Crestons were blessed with a healthy boy, Joel Anthony, and four years later, they had their third and last child, Timothy.

The success of Creston’s early compositions created many new opportunities for him. From 1944 to 1950, Creston conducted a quartet on the radio program, The Hour of Faith, which aired each Sunday morning. Creston also worked as a composition instructor at over fourteen colleges and universities between the years of 1940 and 1962. In 1960, Creston received a U.S. State Department grant as an American specialist, which enabled him to lecture about American music for over a month in Turkey and Israel. He served as Professor of Composition and Orchestration at New York College of Music between 1963 and 1967, and in 1968, he became artist-in- residence at Central Washington State College in Ellensburg, Washington. During this time, he appeared as guest conductor and lecturer at many colleges and universities across the country. In 1975, he retired from Central Washington State College and moved to Rancho Bernardo, California, which lies on the outskirts of San Diego.

Creston wrote 120 compositions with opus numbers including piano pieces, songs, chamber music for various instruments, choral works, symphonic band works, and over 35 orchestral works including six symphonies. He is especially recognized for his contributions to the literature of neglected instruments such as the marimba, trombone, harp, accordion, and saxophone. His works have been widely performed by major orchestras and performing artists. In an orchestral survey prepared by Robert Sabin in the late 1950s, Creston and Aaron Copland shared first place in regard to the number of orchestra compositions and their performances by major American symphony orchestras.

Creston also composed works without opus numbers, especially for radio, television, and film. He composed for the children’s radio program Storyland Theatre and for the dramatic portions of the radio program Philco Hall of Fame. Creston also contributed scores to the CBS-TV series The Twentieth Century, receiving a Christopher Award for the segment Revolt in Hungary. The documentary on poet William Carlos Williams, In the American Grain, earned Creston an Emmy award. In addition, Creston wrote numerous articles for music journals and authored two published books: Principles of Rhythm and Rational Metric Notation.

Among Creston’s awards and honors are two Guggenheim Fellowships (1938, 1939), New York Music Critics’ Circle Award (1943), Citation of Merit from the National Association for American Composers and Conductors (1941), the Music Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1943), and the Citation of Honor from the National Catholic Music Educators Association (1956).

Paul Creston was diagnosed with cancer in 1984, and died on August 24, 1985.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The Paul Creston Collection was donated to the University of Missouri-Kansas City by his wife, Louise Creston, in 1987. Organized into 18 series that occupy nearly 100 boxes, the manuscript collection is housed in LaBudde Special Collections and consists of published and unpublished scores; music and non-music related writings, including correspondence, diaries, and notebooks; reviews and concert programs; awards and honors; scrapbooks, photographs and other miscellaneous items. The earliest material in the collection are scores that date from 1922, and the latest material in the collection are obituaries and programs from Louise Creston’s funeral in 1989. Books owned by Creston as well as later donations to the collection by other sources can be found in the Appendix series. Sound recordings from this collection – including records, cassettes and open-reel tapes – are housed in the Marr Sound Archives and can be accessed through that department’s collection inventory.

The strength of the collection lies in the over 300 manuscript scores, representing over one hundred of Creston’s 121 works with opus numbers, and many of his works without opus numbers, including radio, film and television scores. Many of the opus numbers, especially those with much instrumentation contain more than one score. Thus, Creston’s method of composing can be followed from the rough draft to the final published copy. The majority of the scores also contain annotations by Creston. The collection also contains over 150 published scores, some of which are permanently out of print.

Another strength of the collection is the correspondence. In handling correspondence, Creston always typed a letter, copied it, signed it, mailed the signed copy to the recipient, and kept the original unsigned letter for his records. Thus the correspondence contains all of the letters, telegrams, and postcards sent to and from Creston.

Other highlights of the collection include Creston’s writings on his own life and works, including program notes from over 60 works, autobiographical sketches, lectures, diaries, and date books from 1944 to 1985. Creston’s philosophy of life and music can be found in 11 notebooks kept by Creston on mysticism and occultism in the Writings Unrelated to Music series, which also contains 40 of his poems. Besides the music manuscripts, manuscripts of both published and unpublished books and articles by Creston are an important part of the collection. Over 200 reviews of Creston’s music and 470 concert programs from 1932-1985 can be found in their own series as well as in scrapbooks that were organized by Louise. The Media series contains a small assortment of audio/visual material of interviews and UMKC-sponsored events; however, the majority of this type of material (i.e., sound recordings) are housed separately in the Marr Sound Archives. Completing the collection are foreign language notebooks, biographical information, awards and honors, and scores and books owned by Creston, as well as over 130 photographs.

Other excellent sources of information about Paul Creston are Monica Slomski’s dissertation Paul Creston: The Man and His Music with an Annotated Bibliography of his Works and her book Paul Creston: A Bio-Bibliography.

SERIES NOTES

SERIES I: MANUSCRIPT SCORES This series consists of manuscript scores and copies of manuscripts composed by Creston for orchestra, chorus, chamber ensemble, band, vocal solo, and instrumental solo. Also included are unpublished transcriptions by Creston of works by J. S. Bach, music for radio and film, and examples for teaching material. Creston’s first opus work in the series, Three Theses for Piano, contains comments and an autograph by composer Arnold Schoenberg. Two vocal songs written by Creston in the 1950s, “It’s So Fantastic” and “My Love for You” are credited to Paul Wedge, a pseudonym used by Creston. A large section of this series contains radio scripts and scores for Storyland Theatre, a children’s radio play produced weekly from December 1943 to September 1944; Creston composed 5-8 repeatable themes for the show each week. Of Creston’s first eighteen opus works, nine of them are found in this series and the rest (except Opus 5) can be found in the Published Music series. Opus numbers 5 and 70 are not in the Collection, because the manuscripts of Op. 5 are held by the publisher, Carl Fischer, and the pencil manuscript of Op. 70 is at the Library of Congress. Many of the opus numbers, especially those with much instrumentation, contain more than one score. On the first copy, Creston often composed on just 3 staves with no instrumentation stated. He would then add the instrumentation in a different color of pencil on the reduced score, and finally write the full score. The majority of the scores contain annotations by Creston. The series is divided into two sub-series: A. Works with Opus Numbers and B. Works without Opus Numbers. Sub-series A is arranged numerically by opus number, while sub-series B is arranged alphabetically by title (except Creston’s transcriptions of Bach material, which are interfiled under the latter composer’s name, then by title). Inclusive dates in the series are 1922-1982, with the majority of scores created between 1935 and 1982. Material is located in Boxes 1-21; Oversized Boxes 22-24; Oversized Box 25, Folders 1-12; Oversized Box 81; Oversized Box 82, Folders 1-5 and 8-12; and Oversized Box 83, Folder 1.

SERIES II: PUBLISHED SCORES This series consists of published scores composed by Creston for orchestra, chorus, chamber ensemble, band, vocal solo, and instrumental solo. There are 33 opus numbers that do not have published scores in this series, but except for Opus 5 and 70, their manuscripts can be found in the Manuscript Scores series. Also included in this series is an arrangement of J. S. Bach’s Chaconne and transcriptions of his Chorale-Preludes created by Creston. Of particular note is a 10-book course in rhythm for piano students entitled Rhythmicon. It presents meters and rhythms through explanatory notes, exercises, and short pieces. The series is divided into two sub-series: A. Works with Opus Numbers and B. Works without Opus Numbers. Sub-series A is arranged numerically by opus number, while sub-series B is arranged alphabetically by title (except Creston’s arrangement and transcriptions of Bach material, which are interfiled under the latter composer’s name, then by title). Inclusive dates in the series are 1935-1984. Material is located in Boxes 26-31 and Box 32, Folders 1-13; Oversized Box 25, Folders 13-16; and Oversized Box 82, Folders 6-7.

SERIES III: WRITINGS ON HIS WORKS This series consists of Creston’s writings on his own career, including over 60 of his compositions, compiled bibliographies of works, sound recordings, performances, biographical references, articles and books by and/or about Creston. The writings on his compositions consist

MS03-Paul Creston Collection 5 University of Missouri-Kansas CityDr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION primarily of one-page typescript program notes with analyses and reviews compiled by Creston. The only exception – the folder entitled Six Preludes, Op. 38 – contains a 16-page analysis of the work. The bibliographies of works are divided into works for band, chorus, orchestra, piano, and voice with lists of first performances, composition dates, durations, instrumentations, and publishers. The folder entitled The Works of Paul Creston contains note cards with the location of manuscripts, transparencies, and holographs, many which were donated to the Library of Congress. The first part of the series containing writings about specific works is arranged numerically by opus number. The remainder of the series is arranged alphabetically. Inclusive dates are 1934-1985. Material is located in Box 32, Folders 14-78; and Box 33, Folders 1-26.

SERIES IV: WRITINGS ON MUSIC This series consists of Creston’s writings on music in general, dating 1926-1983. The series is divided into three sub-series: A. Lectures, B. Unpublished and Draft Articles and Books, and C. Published Articles. All three sub-series are arranged alphabetically by title. In Sub-series A, the majority of the lectures are typed with a few annotations. The following lectures became published articles and also can be found in sub-series C: “The Appreciation of Contemporary Music,” “The Appreciation of Music,” “A Composer’s Creed,” “Conductor’s Workshops-A Triangular View,” and “Music and Mass Media.” “The Language of Music,” “A Composer’s Creed,” and “Music and Mass Media” were presented as a series of three lectures at Central Washington State College. Sub-series B contains typescript drafts of articles and books, musical examples for books, teaching examples, theory writings, and notes on music. Draft copies of many books that were not published can be found in this sub-series, including: Creative Harmony, Examples of Orchestration, Harmony Course, Instrumental Techniques, Italian Diction for Singers, Mechanics of Composition, Principles of Melodic Construction, Principles of Orchestration, and Rhythmicon II - also titled Theory and Practice of Rhythmic Patterns. Creston often sent drafts of his books to himself via registered mail. Four examples of this practice can be found in the collection: Harmony Course, Italian Diction for Singers, Principles of Melodic Construction, and Principles of Orchestration. This sub-series also contains teaching material on orchestration and composition by other authors that was used by Creston. Some of Creston’s writings on music also may be found in the Foreign Language Notebooks series, because they are bound with the foreign language notebooks: Piano gymnastics, musical quotes and definitions, and foreword to Principle of Rhythm, key signatures and German music theory, and musical notes. Material is located in Box 33, Folders 27-36; and Boxes 34-37; and Box 38, Folders 1-27.

SERIES V: WRITINGS UNRELATED TO MUSIC This series consists of poetry, quotations, notes on occultism and religion, philosophical writings, and copies of articles on handwriting analysis. The writings range in date from 1925 to 1979 and are arranged alphabetically by title. Of particular interest is Creston’s involvement with a religious organization he joined in 1976, the AMORC (The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis). This organization believes that the soul leaves your body at death and eventually enters into a baby, years later at birth in a cycle that repeats every 144 years. AMORC members also believe that each music note corresponds to a particular color, periodic element, and vowel sound. Other well-known members of the organization include: Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Claude Debussy, and Albert Einstein. Included are tests and notes taken from 1976 to 1979. In 1979, Creston reached the ninth order which is the highest level one can achieve in the

MS03-Paul Creston Collection 6 University of Missouri-Kansas CityDr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION

Rosicrucian Order. Notes Creston took on a book about mysticism, Key to the Universe, may be found in the Foreign Language Notebooks series, bound with a Spanish language notebook. Material is located in Box 38, Folder 28; Box 39, Folders 1-11.

SERIES VI: CORRESPONDENCE This series primarily consists of professional correspondence. Louise Creston acted as her husband’s personal archivist, and for this reason, most of the material in this series has remained in the order she organized it. The series includes letters, postcards, telegrams, promotional flyers, and contracts from 1923 to 1985. The vast majority of the correspondence is typed letters with signatures. Creston often typed his reply on the back of the letter to which he was responding. Other material in the series includes: invoices, programs, reviews, reports, royalty statements, articles, pamphlets, and photographs. Also contained in the series are letters to Louise written after Paul passed away. Correspondence about Creston’s trips to Europe, Tel Aviv, and Turkey can be found in the Diaries & Autobiographical Information series. Correspondence is divided into eight sub-series: A. Colleges and Schools, B. Conductors, C. Orchestras, D. Organizations, E. Personal Correspondence, F. Publishers, G. Radio Stations and Television Networks, and H. Recording Companies. The items are arranged alphabetically within each sub-series. Sub-series A includes letters from Central Washington State College, where Creston taught. There are handwritten thank you notes from elementary school children and correspondence to Grinnell College containing letters to and from the Mirecourt Trio. Letters to and from famous conductors such as Monteux, Ormandy, Stokowski and Toscanini can be found in sub-series B. Other letters to orchestra conductors can be found in sub-series C. Leonard Burkat can be found in this series but he is not a conductor; he ran a program note service. Sub-series C contains a list of names and addresses of orchestra conductors. Letters to specific orchestra conductors can be found in sub-series B. Organizations to which Creston belonged can be found in sub-series D. There is correspondence to and from ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers). Creston belonged to ASCAP most of his life and received royalties through the organization. Included are lists of original manuscripts Creston donated to the Library of Congress. Surveys do not refer to an organization but are surveys on the most frequently performed 20th century orchestra compositions. The correspondence in sub-series E contains primarily professional correspondence to individuals that are not conductors. There are form letters from Creston, letters to and from his family, and handwritten 75th birthday cards from elementary school students in Kansas.

Schirmer, and Shawnee Press. Correspondence to Mills Music can be found under Mills Music or Belwin-Mills because the two companies merged. Correspondence from stations that programmed Creston’s works can be found in Sub-series G. There are 11 radio interview scripts discussing Creston’s music and philosophy. Sub-series H includes companies that recorded and distributed Creston’s works. Recording contracts are also found in this series.

(2004) and Musica Nova: A Celebration of Paul Creston and Henry Moore (2006). Material is located in Box 84. Note: Sound recordings from this collection – including records, cassettes and open-reel tapes – are housed in the Marr Sound Archives and can be accessed through that department’s collection inventory.

APPENDIX A: BOOKS OWNED BY CRESTON This is a list of books donated as part of the Creston Collection. Most titles are housed in LaBudde Special Collections and are non-circulating, but can be consulted onsite in the department. Additional titles are housed in the Music/Media Library (as circulating books or non-circulating reference books) as well as the Miller Nichols Library’s general circulating book collection. In some cases where Creston’s copy is designated library use only, there exists circulating copies the library has acquired from other sources that can be checked out. Consult the UMKC Library Catalog (MERLIN) for more information about the availability of a specific title.

APPENDIX B: CRESTON MATERIAL DONATED BY MONICA SLOMSKI Monica Slomski has written the only book on Paul Creston: Paul Creston: A Bio-Bibliography. In 1987, Slomski earned her Doctorate degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and wrote her dissertation on Creston. She conducted interviews with Creston in August 1982, and he gave her some of his scores to help her with her research. She donated these scores to the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 1989 to be added to the Creston Collection. Material is located in Box 80, Folders 1-8; Oversized Box 79, Folder 12.

APPENDIX C: CRESTON MATERIAL CONTRIBUTED BY OTHER SOURCES This material was mailed to the University of Missouri-Kansas City, either on the request of the conservatory librarian, Peter Munstedt, or by Louise Creston. The sources and their relationships to Creston are: Mary Alexander and Patricia Barr, personal friends of both Paul and Louise Creston; Charles Queener, composition student of Creston’s; Robert Cowen, pianist that premiered, performed, and recorded Creston’s works for two pianos with Joan Yarbrough; Guy Freedman, personal friend and editor of the Music Journal; Geary Larrick, percussionist and publisher that wrote an article and gave a lecture on Creston’s Concertino for Marimba, Op. 21; Dr. Marian Petersen, director of the Institute for Studies in American Music when the Creston Collection was acquired. In handling correspondence, Creston always typed a letter, copied it, signed it, mailed the signed copy to the recipient, and kept the original unsigned letter for his records. Thus, most of this correspondence can already be found in the Correspondence series in the collection. Many of the articles, reviews, and lectures can also be found in their respective series in the collection. Material is located in Box 80, Folders 9-15.

APPENDIX D: LIST OF CRESTON’S COMPOSITIONS This is an index of Creston compositions with symbols indicating whether each title has corresponding manuscript scores, published scores and/or recordings held in the Creston Collection.
