Introduction
In the mid-1950's Richard Rodgers indicated that it was his
wish that all his original music manuscripts should be housed
permanently in the Library of Congress. This wish was realized in
the following stages: on November 10th, 1954, Rodgers deposited
most of his original manuscripts in the Library. Later that year,
Rodgers began converting the deposits to gifts (starting with the
music for "The Garrick Gaieties", and "Love Me Tonight"); he
continued that process until his death in 1979. Additionally,
Rodgers remembered the Library in his will; as a result, we
received his original music manuscripts for "Androcles and the
Lion", "Two by Two", "Rex", and "I Remember Mama".
Subsequent gifts were made by the composer's widow, Dorothy
Rodgers, and by the Rodgers & Hammerstein organization -- as
recently as 1995. A few items were purchased for the collection by
the Library, consisting of music and memorabilia from Camp Paradox
(materials dating between 1918-1925).
The Richard Rodgers Collection is available for examination
and study in the Performing Arts Reading Room. Materials in this
collection may not be copied without the written permission of the
Rodgers and Hammerstein organization. In addition, materials
currently under copyright protection may not be copied without the
written permission of of the copyright owner, often a publisher.
The user is advised that permission to copy may not imply
permission for other uses, including performing, recording and
publishing.
Researchers using the Richard Rodgers Collection should be
aware of other music division holdings that, though separate from
that collection, bear a direct relationship to it: The Oscar
Hammerstein Collection; the Robert Russell Bennett Collection; the
Hans Spialek Collection; the American Music Theater Collection; and
the various holdings within the general collections which include
librettos, piano-vocal scores, and published sheet music. In
addition, the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Fund Collection contains a
number of notable Rodgers' manuscripts purchased from the Hans
Spialek estate, including: "This Can't Be Love," "Too Good for the
Average Man," "La Princesse Zenobia Ballet" and "Slaughter on Tenth
Avenue Ballet."
The Richard Rodgers Collection in the Billy Rose Theatre
Collection at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
at Licoln Center, contains most of Rodgers' correspondence.

Scope and Content Note
The Richard Rodgers Collection at the Library of Congress
consists predominantly of Rodgers' music holographs -- sketches,
piano-vocal scores (many with lyric sheets included) and short
scores. In addition, the collection includes the full scores for
eight of the Rodgers and Hammerstein shows ("Allegro", "Carousel",
"Flower Drum Song", "The King and I", "Oklahoma", "Pipe Dream",
"The Sound of Music", and "South Pacific"). The majority of these
scores are in the hand of the orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett,
but other orchestrators are represented and identified in this
guide whenever possible. The collection also includes a small
number of programs, photographs, miscellaneous papers, and a few
miscellaneous items. A few items have been transferred to the
Motion Picture Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division -- Rodgers'
"gold record" for "The Sound of Music"; two video cassettes of home
movies; and one cassette tape recorded by Zoe Hyde-Thomson
consisting of Rodgers' reminiscences during World War II.
Series I -- Show Music -- has been divided into Rodgers'
manuscripts and the full scores; each of these sections has been
organized alphabetically by show title and by song title within
each show. In the instances when a Broadway musical either was
revised, subsequently filmed, or a film musical was re-made, the
materials for subsequent productions have been interfiled with the
materials for the earlier production. When there are collections
of sketches for a show, they are at the end of the materials for
that show. Where a collection of sketches contains material from
more than one show, the sketches are listed with the show which
appears most often; cross-references have been provided for other
shows appearing within these sketches. Other collections of
sketches, representing a variety of shows, are placed in the the
Miscellaneous Sketches series; they are listed in chronological
order (as nearly as can be determined), and are designated M.S. 1
(i.e., Miscellaneous Sketches 1), etc. Known song titles from
these sketches are also cross-referenced in the appropriate shows.
When most sketches in a collection are identifiable, the occasional
"unidentified" item is listed in the order in which it appears;
when most of the sketches in a collection are unknown, there is
only a general reference to the fact that unidentified sketches are
included. When a portion of a song title is crossed through on the
music, it is also crossed through in this guide.
The appendix at the end of this guide is an alphabetical list
of all of Rodgers' songs represented in this collection and where
they can be found. This appendix does not include the full scores.
The music for "I Picked a Daisy", "Lawrence of Arabia" and the
second film of "State Fair" were found together in a way that
necessitated our making a best guess as to which materials were
intended for which show. Our determinations should be construed as
educated speculation, not fact.
The full scores contain many examples of show material that
was deleted or replaced with new orchestrations. In a few cases,
well known selections are conspicuously absent, most notably,
"Carousel Waltz" and "Soliloquy" from "Carousel". The full scores
are organized alphabetically by show, and by song titles within
shows. Unfamiliar titles, and items such as "bridges," and
"utilities" are grouped together in Miscellaneous sections at the
end of each show. A number of the full scores are marked "N/G,"
apparently indicating that the score was "No Good" and was not used
in the final incarnation of the show.
This collection is an exquisite representation of the working
life of a composer in both the breadth and the depth of the
material it encompasses: close to 1,000 known song titles (some in
various stages of composition), over 80 shows, and hundreds of
untitled sketches are represented, primarily as holographs. The
assembled materials span approximately sixty-two years (1917-1979),
encompassing both Rodgers' amateur and professional life. Rodgers
later works are most completely represented, but almost all
significant early works are represented as well. There are also a
number of lyric sketches for those works on which Rodgers acted as
his own lyricist.
Rodgers' melodic prodigiousness is evidenced in the collection
by page after page of his sketches. They reveal intricacies of his
working methods, for instance, there are lyric sheets with
annotations by Rodgers indicating which syllables to accent, some
have rhythms notated in the margins, or a melody may be scrawled on
the back. There are series of sketches which show the evolution of
a song -- giving three or four alternative themes, often with
different time signatures and in different styles.
The "Rodgers and Hammerstein Fact Book" by Stanley Green and
the "Catalog of the American Musical" by Tommy Krasker and Robert
Kimball were enormously helpful in determining correct song titles,
as well as identifying the shows for which the songs were written
or in which they were sung. Scott Willis, a Rodgers and Hart
specialist, was gracious with both his time and knowledge,
identifying a number of untitled pieces from the collection.
Enormous thanks are due to Albert Tucker for his yeoman like work
on both the processing of the collection and the creation of this
guide.
