Biographical Note
Halsey Stevens was born on December 3, 1908, in Scott, New York. Educated at Homer Academy as a youth, Stevens took to composing at a young age and completed his first work,
The Frogs at School
, sometime around 1920-1921. He studied composition with William Berwald at Syracuse University, earning his B.A. in 1931 and his M.M. in 1937. Shortly after graduation, Stevens accepted a position as associate professor of music at Dakota Wesleyan University, where he remained until 1944. He continued his composition studies with Ernest Bloch at the University of California, Berkeley, before settling into a professorship at the University of Southern California in 1946. Over the course of his thirty-year tenure at the school, Stevens served as chairman for its department of composition (1949-1975), composer-in-residence (1972-1976), and as Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities (1974-1976). He was named professor emeritus in 1976.
As a musicologist, Stevens spent a considerable portion of his academic career dedicated to documenting the music and legacy of Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. His signature monograph,
The Life and Music of Béla Bartók
, was first published in 1953, with a second edition in 1964. His scholarly success fueled a robust career as visiting professor and guest lecturer at nearly seventy American and European universities, including the University of Cincinnati and Yale University. Stevens was the recipient of Guggenheim Fellowships in 1964 and 1971, with which he traveled and composed a handful of his hundreds of instrumental and vocal works. His
Sonata for Trumpet and Piano
(1956),
Sonata for Solo Cello
(1956), and
Symphonic Dances
(1958) are among his most performed works. Stevens appears to have stopped composing by the early 1980s, at which point he was living in Inglewood, California. He died on January 20, 1989.
Scope and Content Note
Music materials from the Halsey Stevens Papers consist of scores, parts, and sketches for works composed from about 1920 to 1987. These include instrumental works for keyboard, chamber ensemble, and full orchestra, as well as vocal and choral works and arrangements for varying instrumentations. The majority of titles are represented by dated pencil scores in Stevens' hand, onionskin master sheets, and ozalid reproductions of scores bearing annotations by Stevens or other conductors and performers. Additional materials include publisher proofs, score paste-ups, and lyric sheets. Numerous scores have been stamped "withdrawn" by the Stevens estate. These are omitted from Stevens' known personal works list, although many are assigned "catalog" numbers on the original crate inventories that accompanied the materials.
In addition to his own composing, Stevens spent considerable time throughout his career transcribing and arranging folk music from Eastern and Western Europe, Canada, and Latin America. Many of his arrangements of Hungarian and Slavic folk songs are based upon transcriptions by Béla Bartók. The collection also includes an extensive amount of Stevens' miscellaneous sketch materials, many of which are arranged according to their original packing inventories. These include unfinished and unidentified works, theory and composition exercises, and fragments of inked master sheets. Titles of significant works in sketchbooks are listed if known.
