Preferred Citation Lou Harrison Music Manuscripts. MS 132, ser.1. Special Collections and Archives, University Library, University of California, Santa Cruz. Acquisition Information Gift from Lou Harrison 1991-2003. Funding Special Collections, with appreciation, has received funding to acquire and process the Lou Harrison Archive. The Rex Foundation and the Unbroken Chain, two foundations established by members of the Grateful Dead, generously contributed to the acquisition of Lou Harrison material for the Archive. Members of the Grateful Dead had a long association with Harrison, having performed together on several occasions at San Francisco Symphony programs, and they recognized the importance of Harrison's musical contributions. Without their support some of Harrison's essential manuscripts and recordings would not have been part of the Archive. Special Collections also acknowledges Richard Faggioli for his contributions towards the archiving and preservation of music at UCSC and for his continued interest shown to Special Collections' holdings. We are particularly grateful to the Lou Harrison Papers: Music MS 132, ser.1 2 Manuscripts Title: Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation of New York for awarding a grant to Special Collections to support preparing the inventory and preserving Lou Harrison's music manuscripts. Delmas Foundation support has allowed for the construction of this detailed electronic finding aid of the music manuscript collection available through the Online Archive of California. We thank the Delmas Foundation for assisting us in making this special resource accessible to the public and for their continued efforts to support scholarly resource sharing beyond institutional boundaries. We are particularly grateful to Charles Hanson, longtime personal archivist to Lou Harrison, who patiently identified the music manuscripts within the Archive and prepared the inventory provided in this Finding Aid. Biography Lou Harrison (1917-2003) is recognized especially for his percussion music, his work with just intonation tuning systems, and his syntheses of Asian and Western musics. His compositions have combined instruments from various cultures and utilized many of his own construction. His style is marked by a notable melodicism: even his percussion and 12-note works have a decidedly lyrical flavor. Harrison spent his formative years in northern California, where his family settled in 1926. In 1935 he entered San Francisco State College (now University), and in his three semesters there studied the horn and clarinet, took up the harpsichord and recorder, sang in vocal ensembles and composed works for early instruments. In Spring 1935 he enrolled in Henry Cowell's course "Music of the Peoples of the World" and began composition lessons with Cowell, who proved one of the strongest influences in Harrison's life. Harrison also collaborated with West Coast choreographers and in 1937 was engaged by Mills College in Oakland, California as a dance accompanist. At Mills in 1939 and 1940, and in San Francisco, Harrison and John Cage staged high-profile percussion concerts, for one of which they jointly composed Double Music for Four Percussionists. In August 1942 Harrison moved to Los Angeles, where he taught music to dancers at University of California, Los Angeles and enrolled in Arnold Schoenberg's weekly composition seminar. The following year he moved to New York. There he wrote over 300 reviews for the New York Herald Tribune, premiered (as conductor) Ives's Third Symphony, and composed works in a dissonant contrapuntal style. But New York life proved difficult and in 1947 Harrison suffered a nervous breakdown that ultimately served as a catalyst for a change in his compositional language. Following this traumatic event, Harrison turned more deliberately to melodicism and pentatonicism, and embarked on studies of tuning systems. After a two-year residency at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, he returned to the West Coast. In 1954 he settled in Aptos, California where he remained for the rest of his life. Studies in Korea and Taiwan in 1961-62 and an intensive exploration of Indonesian gamelan beginning in 1975 inspired Harrison to bring Asian influences into his musical style and to write works combining Eastern and Western instruments. In 1967 Harrison met William Colvig (1917-2000), an electrician and amateur musician who became his partner and collaborator in instrument-building and tuning experiments. Together they built three instrument sets evoking the gamelan. In his last years, Harrison returned more avidly to composing for Western instruments. He wrote four symphonies, various concerti, and numerous chamber works. Throughout his life, Harrison articulated political views of multiculturalism, ecological responsibility and pacifism in both writings and musical compositions. He and Colvig were also active politically in the gay rights movement. In addition to his musical compositions and prose writings, Harrison, a published poet and a painter, was renowned for his calligraphic script, and even designed his own computer fonts. Leta Miller Scope and Content of Collection The Lou Harrison Music Manuscripts series consists of autograph music scores, sketches, and revisions. Organized in categories by genre according to the Grove's Music Dictionary, the entries include instrumentation, dates of composition, movement titles and premiere dates as well as cross references and notes. These details are provided by the Harrison works catalogue created by Leta Miller and Charles Hanson for the Miller/Lieberman book Lou Harrison: Composing a World (Oxford, 1998). In addition to his performed works, the collection includes numerous unfinished works, works in process, small "gift" pieces, and experimental sketches. There are transcriptions of traditional Asian pieces, musical examples from workshops, and experimental works using specified tones and tunings. These pieces, unpublished and not authorized for performance, are inventoried by description, such as, 7-tone equal temperament sketch, unfinished 3-tone song, Just Intonation sketches, but not by specific date or genre. Pieces within each genre are listed chronologically by date of completion unless otherwise stated. Complete works later used as movements of larger works are listed separately because (1) they were complete compositions at the earlier date and remain as separate viable compositions on their own; and (2) new material was added when they were incorporated into the later composition. Lou Harrison Papers: Music MS 132, ser.1 3 Manuscripts The Music Manuscript collection contains over 113 complete representations of the variety and styles that the composer achieved in his 75 years of writing music. Included are the earliest juvenilia from age ten that Harrison himself said "are perfectly dreadful" as well as the percussion and dance compositions from the 1930's and 40's that are still considered signature pieces and as Lou also said " still hold the boards". Harrison continued composing until his last day of February 2, 2003. He was on his way to a festival of his music which included yet another revision of his Third Symphony. His final work, Scenes from Nek Chand, for American Steel Guitar, shows his faltering hand after decades of a beautiful calligraphic script and notation. In various stages of his life, Harrison's script changed dramatically and was to become one of the factors in helping to identify, and date, fragments and scores. The Music Manuscript materials are filed in order of movements with entries indicating pages or folios, scores

LUDWIG THUILLE (1861-1907) Ludwig Thuille's greatest distinction as a composer is his devotion to the cultivation of chamber music at a time when most composers were ignoring the medium. Although he composed several operas on whimsical subjects (Lobetanz, composed in 1896, was heard regularly in New York at the turn of the century), his instrumental and vocal chamber music remain part of the standard repertoire. As an educator, his music theory textbook Harmonielehre, written in 1907 with Rudolf Louis, remained the authoritative work on the subject long after Thuille's death. The Sextet for Piano and Winds, Op. 6, was written in 1889 and was an immediate success.
