Instrumental Music, A-Z

 Series

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Beverly Brown Glauser vocal and instrumental scores collection (1867-1948) were collected by Glauser and her family. The collection is divided into two parts which were identified as the "Classical Music Collection" and the "Old Music Selections Collection." More appropriately, these two collections are referred to here as "Instrumental Music" and "Vocal Music," respectively. This is done because much of the material in the "Classical Music Collection" is not classical; it is, however, all instrumental, consisting largely of waltzes, other dance music, and marches. All of the material which was previously categorized as "Old Music Selections" has lyrics, including more popular works, such as many patriotic songs from the World War I era.

The instrumental music includes works (or arrangements of works) by C. Bohm, Fr. Chopin, Anton Dvorák, L. M. Gottschalk, J. Haydn, F. Mendelssohn, Jean Sibelius, John Philip Sousa, Richard Wagner, and others. The vocal music includes works by Billy Baskate, Irving Berlin, Lew Brown, Alfred Bryan, Anatol Friedland, George Meyer, George R. Pyper, Harry VonTilzer, W. R. Williams, Joe Young, and others. Spellings and abbreviations of composer and lyricist names are as shown on the sheet music. Below, the composer is listed first, followed by the lyricist, provided that a distinction was made on the sheet music.

The material is arranged alphabetically, by title, within the two final groupings, respecting Beverly Glauser's apparent ordering. Dates in the inventory are copyright dates; multiple dates reflect copyright renewal or multiple editions of the work. Two lists of the included music (one for each group, as provided with the collection) are available in box 1, folder 1.
