Provenance
From 1962 to 1965, Frederick Loewe gave many of his most
well-known music manuscripts to the Library of Congress. This gift was comprised of his
manuscripts for songs from
Brigadoon
(given in 1962), songs from
My Fair Lady
(given in 1964), and songs written for
Camelot
, in addition to four additional songs written for
My Fair Lady
(given in 1965). These items were formerly cataloged as ML96.L62,
though the contents were not fully described.
In November 1999, a significant collection of Frederick Loewe materials
was offered at auction by Christie’s, Los Angeles. At that auction, the Library
purchased five of the more important lots offered, with funds from the Ira and Leonore
Gershwin Fund for the Benefit of the Library of Congress. Those lots contained
additional songs written for
Brigadoon
, songs and sketches written for
The Day Before Spring
, songs and sketches written for
Great Lady
, songs written for, but not used in
My Fair Lady
, and songs written for
Paint Your Wagon
. The provenance of these materials was described in the catalog as a bequest
from Loewe to “John Morris, artist and friend,” and a subsequent bequest by Morris to
“the present owner” who is left unnamed. There were other lots offered for sale that the
Library did not acquire, notably additional music written for
Camelot
, and music written for
Gigi
.
The remainder of the items in this collection were the gift of Stuart Warren of Palm
Springs, California, and were received by the Library in December 1999.
All non-music materials in the collection are also part of this gift.
Accruals
No further accruals are expected.
Processing History
The Frederick Loewe Collection was processed by Mark Horowitz in 2004. Janet McKinney

Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division where they are identified as part of the
Frederick Loewe Collection (MAVIS collection no. 7776). An inventory of this material is
available in the Music Division's collection file. Some of the audio recordings have
been cataloged and can be found in the Library of Congress online catalog where they are
identified as part of the "Frederick Loewe Collection (Library of Congress)."
Related Material
The Library of Congress Music Division holds additional Loewe material. The division’s
general collections contain the following items: a typescript libretto for

(ML50.L8256G6), full scores for

and
Paint Your Wagon
. In addition, the Warner-Chappell Collection contains parts and full scores for
My Fair Lady
, full scores for
Paint Your Wagon
, and piano-vocal scores for

resides with the Robert Russell Bennett materials (ML96.B4673).
