Aside from the most celebrated American composers from this period whose chamber works are regularly performed, i.e. Copland, Barber, Bernstein, and Carter, there are many other composers highly lauded in their time and significant in shaping the story of music in the United States, who are rarely heard today.

Working with Martha Graham was for me a most rewarding artistic venture and is directly responsible for the current collaboration. When I received a telephone call last spring from Miss Graham informing me that the Louisville Orchestra would commission a composer of her choice for her engagement, I had no inten- tion of adding to my already heavy commitments. However, as the telephone conversation progressed and as the better part of an hour was consumed, my resistance grew weaker and suddenly I found myself discussing the possible form the work could take. Actually, my reason for wanting to do the work was not only the welcome opportunity of writing another piece for Miss Graham, but also the opportunity of employing the full OGRAPHY BY MARTHA GRAHAM.

  • Library of Congress Collection Overviews: Dance
    COLLECTION OVERVIEW DANCE I. SCOPE This overview focuses on dance materials found throughout the Library’s general book collection as well as in the various special collections and special format divisions, including General Collections; the Music Division; Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound; the American Folklife Center; Manuscript Division; Prints & Photographs; and Rare Book and Special Collections. The overview also identifies dance- related Internet sources created by the Library as well as subscription databases. II. SIZE Dance materials can be found in the following classes: BJ; GT; VN; GV; M; and ML. All classes, when totaled, add up to 57,430 dance and dance-related items. Class GV1580- 1799.4 (Dancing) contains 10,114 items, constituting the largest class. The Music Division holds thirty special collections of dance materials and an additional two hundred special collections in music and theater that include dance research materials. III. GENERAL RESEARCH STRENGTHS General research strengths in the area of dance research at the Library of Congress fall within three areas: (A) dance instructional and etiquette manuals, especially those printed between 1520 and 1920, (B) dance on camera, and (C) folk, traditional, and ethnic dance. A. The first primary research strength of the Library of Congress is its collections of 16th-20th-century dance instructional and etiquette manuals and ancillary research materials, which are located in the General Collections, Music Division, and Rare Book and Special Collections (sub-classifications GN, GT, GV, BJ, and M). Special Collections within the Music Division that compliment this research are numerous, including its massive collection of sheet music from the early 1800s through the 20th century.
