Helen Hopekirk (1856-1945) was a
Scottish-born American composer, pianist, and educator of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. During her lifetime she maintained a rigorous performance schedule
throughout Europe and the United States and studied under numerous artists. Her
compositions were often inspired by traditional Scottish and Gaelic folk-songs and the
works of poets and other authors. This collection contains music manuscripts by Hopekirk
and other composers, biographical materials, writings by and about Hopekirk, scrapbooks,
and other items that document her life and career.
Acquisition Information
Purchased from Constance Huntington Hall in 1954. Additional music manuscripts were
gifted by Helen Hopekirk and cataloged in ML96.H81.
Custodial History
The music and biographical materials in the collection were compiled by Mrs. Rodney
Warner (maiden name unknown), a former student of Helen Hopekirk in Massachusetts. These
items were gifted to Constance H. Hall for her personal research on Hopekirk, and
alongside additional materials collected by Hall, were used to publish a biography on
the composer. The Library of Congress purchased Hall's initial materials and Warner's
items from Hall in 1954.
Accruals
No further accruals are expected.

Scope and Content Note
Materials in the Helen Hopekirk Collection span from 1875 to 1954, the bulk of which
date from 1880 to 1940. These consist of music manuscripts in Hopekirk's hand, published
and unpublished solo piano and vocal music by others, writings by Hopekirk, scrapbooks
containing newspaper clippings and programs, and a small assortment of biographical
items and other documents representative of Hopekirk's career as a performer.
The [Music](HH01) series is the
largest in the collection and consists of six subseries. The first five of these
encompass Hopekirk's manuscripts and are organized by genre respectively: Orchestral;
Solo Piano; Chamber; Vocal; and Sketchbooks and Sketches. Approximately eighty titled
works plus various sketch materials comprise Hopekirk's music manuscripts, which reflect
the breadth of her output and her appreciation for Scottish folk-songs and musical
settings of poetry and literary works. Writers referenced in Hopekirk's settings include
Walt Whitman, Heinrich Heine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Fiona Macleod, a pseudonym
for Scottish writer William Sharp. The final subseries, Works by Others, contains scores
from Hopekirk's personal collection, many of which are inscribed to her by the
composers.
The [Biographical Materials](HH02)
series provides a detailed look at Hopekirk's life from her early years in Leipzig until
her death in 1945. Included is Constance H. Hall's biography of Hopekirk, as well as a
residence schedule initially kept by Hopekirk's husband and manager, William Wilson,
that covers approximately five decades of Hopekirk's career.
Five volumes comprise the [Scrapbooks](HH03) series, providing a comprehensive look at Hopekirk's performance
schedule through hundreds of newspaper clippings and programs dating from 1875 through
1939. The clippings are chiefly from American, British, and German publications, while
the programs are primarily from performances in the United States and Great Britain.
Writings by Hopekirk comprise the bulk of the [Miscellany](HH04) series. These include pieces on the importance of
Scottish folk-songs and her thoughts on a variety of musical learning techniques and
concepts. Also included is a small amount of correspondence and other assorted documents
collected by both Hopekirk and Constance H. Hall.
