Abstract:

Miscellaneous records, consisting mainly of correspondence, faculty meeting minutes, curriculum guidelines, recordings and programs from various performances given by Music Department faculty and students. Administrative correspondence is largely between the department chair and the dean of the School of Fine Arts regarding curriculum planning, budgeting and departmental activities. Other correspondence regards planning of music performance series such as Summer Evenings of Music, the Fine Arts Quartet, Christmas Festivals of Courtly Music, and Music-From-Almost-Yesterday. The faculty meeting minutes document curriculum changes, scholarship and fellowship awards, faculty appointments and the development and changes of the graduate program of the department. The files also contain information on guest artists who performed at UWM, including the New York Woodwind Quintet, the Dave Brubeck Jazz Quartet, and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Recordings are mostly of the UW-Milwaukee Symphony Band and Symphony Orchestra from the 1960s-1980s.
