Scope and Content

A series of manuscript music scores for six different works by Sims. These are all written out by hand, and in some instances there is additional annotation, possibly made by members of the orchestra involved in productions. Some are relatively fair copies, while others give the appearance of rougher drafts with large passages crossed through.

Arrangement

The material is arranged alphabetically by title of work.
