| | 18th Century Symphony Archive 1720 - 1840 |
more info |
| | This project has resulted in the publication of 550 hitherto unavailable symphonic scores in sixty volumes (and a thematic catalogue) by Garland Publishing. The materials from this project form a valuable archive of microfilms and photocopies of some 3,600 original sources (scores and parts), both for those symphonies that were published by Garland and for many others. As such, it is probably the largest archive of 18th-century symphonies in the United States. It is available at the Brook Center for use by scholars of the 18th-century symphony as well as students and conductors for whom its resources are vital. Ruth Halle Rowen's Symphonic and Chamber Music Score and Parts Bank Thematic Catalogue of the Barry S. Brook Facsimile Archive (Stuyvesant, NY: Pendragon, 1996) serves as a catalogue to the collection. |
