No requestable containers
Scope and Contents
Although this collection spans 1890 to 1997, most of the sheet music was copyrighted before the 1940s. Also included is a photograph of a piece of music and a small music book with no copyright. Roughly half of the songs are related to the moon in some way. There is a variety of different types of dances, such as fox trots, two steps, or waltzes, but not much variety in theme. Most pieces are love songs, with a few comic ones interspersed.
Series 1: Romantic songs – separated by year, then categorized alphabetically.
Series 2: Moon songs – because there is such a large quantity of these, they are separated from the other pieces. Like the other songs, the are categorized by year, followed by alphabetical ordering.
