- Scope and content:
-
Vocal Works is comprised of Robert Ward's pieces for solo voice, choir, spoken narrator, and chorus with larger ensemble combinations. Some works include newspaper clippings, programs, and reviews from performances. Many of the pieces include music sketches, drafts of texts, some correspondence, piano-vocal scores, full scores, orchestral scores, conductor's scores, complete sets of parts, and recordings when noted. Media types include audiocassettes, compact discs, digital audio tapes, DVDs, and VHS tapes. The scores include published versions, edited proofs—many in Ward's own hand—master sheets, printing masters, and original manuscripts. Recording titles are taken from the media objects themselves. Arranged alphabetically by title of piece.
