- Title:
- Robert Simpson Manuscripts: Vocal Music
- Scope & Content:
-
- f. 1. ‘Trocknet nicht, tränen’ (words, Goethe), for voice and piano; 1942. Score, in ink. Dated ‘23.xii.42’ at the beginning of the score.
- f. 2. ‘The Cherry Tree’ (words, A.E. Housman), for voice and piano; n.d. Photocopy of the autograph manuscript. On the score Simpson referred to himself as ‘Mus. Bac.’, so the work evidently predates his receipt of a doctorate in 1951.
- ff. 3-19. ‘Tempi’, for unaccompanied mixed voices, with rehearsal piano; 1986-1987. Photocopies of two autograph manuscripts. The first (ff. 3-12) is a score for SATB with rehearsal piano, the second (ff. 13-19) is for SATB alone. Both are dated ‘27.xii.86’ at the beginning and ‘27.i.87 at Killelton’ at the end. Dedicated to Kenneth and Margaret Roberton. Published by Roberton Publications, 1988.
