The subject of my Senior linnors Project seemed tn be
tailor -made for a saxophone majnr.
Close at hand were
bnt 11 the Cecil Leeson Archival Saxnpbnne Cnllection, and
Ceci 1 Leesnn.
As a Pioneer Americfln Concert Saxophonist,
Dr. Leesnn was
instru~ental
in developing a literature,
raisin?; performance standards, and in educatinr, nther
saxophonists.
Because a signi ficant share nf thl2 material
in the collection came into being as a resul t
of Leesnn' s
lifework, the history behind this part of the collection
can be told only by him.
tv;uch of this history had nnt
yet been recorded: and, since the collection's dedication
three years ago U-larch 20, 1077), these materials were
still inaccessible tn saxophnne historians.
Before the
library wnuld be able tn make these materials available
tn look. at and tn study, they \vould have to be cataloGed
so the 1 i brary \vnul d knn\v \vhat is in the cn1l ect inn.
Fnr my Seninr
I~nnrs
Project I have cataloged the
nrifi na 1 mus i c manuscri pts and photor,raphs fronl the Ceci 1
Leesnn Archival c."axophone r:n] lection.
(The collectinn
also includes several historical saxophones, first editions
of important saxophone literature, Leeson's correspondence
with composers of this literature and with other musicians
important to the subject, Leeson's recordin[,;s, and other
memorahilia.)
I
also wrote a par;e or so about each of
3
the composers represented here, and have included a list
() f other works wri t ten for or by Leeson.
Hy main incenti ve for undertaking this project \Vas to
learn more histnry of the American concert saxophone movement.
By
w()rkin~
about it.
with Leesnn,
I was sure to hear a lot
I was already familiar with some of the music
represented on the manuscripts, and most of the names
of people in the photographs I could remember hearing in
Leeson's seminars (a weekI y 1 ecture-class for his firstyear students).
the
t\>vO
But a lot of what I heard Leeson say during
years of lessons \vith him did not mean much to me
a t the time.
I had barel y heard the saxophone us ed in
jazz, and had never heard of "concert saxophone."
(I
am not sure if I had even heard an entire symphony before
I got to colle[~e.)
Even
50,
a lot of it came hack to mind;
and, \vi th what he tol d me th i s time around, many loose
facts seemed to corne together for me.
Thi s endeavor a1 so p,a ve me s nme ins ight into the
cata1op,ing process.
But more important than that, the
cataloging made me aware of the significance of using
the language precisely.
Thanks are due Drs. Cecil Leeson and I\yal ?
'.h 11 j,ams
for providinp the cooperation necessary for this project
to succeed.
Dr. Leeson made himself available even \,'hen
he did nnt feel up to it,
freely ?ave me more background
infonnation than necessary for the purposes of cataloging,
and ched:ed the articl es nn the composers for accuracy;
even thou8r1 he was not nhl iged hy anv contract to serve
as an advisor to t;1is project.
Dr. ',Ii 11 iams took time
aside from Ilis regular duties as head music librarian for
Ball State's Bracken Library to he Illy Advis0r for this
project.
lIe made himself readily available, despite
his heavy load, to advise and anS\\7er questions about the
catalo{"ine process.
: Ie was pat ient and had an onf,oing
concern that 1 benefit frOIi) this project in ways valuable
to me, as a musician.
And for presenting me with the
basic idea for this project

For each manuscript a separate sheet has been prepa.red.
Each sheet has captions for:
AUTHOR, TITLE PAGE, (and/or)
CAPTION TITLE, PHYS ICAL DES CRIPTION, and UN US lfAL FEATtfRES.
The purpose of each is explained below, in the order they
appear on the sheets.
AUTHOR:
1 ast name firs t, followed by birth and death da1:es.
ARRANGED BY:
na.me of the arranger, listed as the author's name is.
TITLE PAGE:
a paGe, preceding the music, bearing the work's title
(usually) or something else reI event to the work.
What was written on the manuscript is represented as
accuratel y as poss i bl e.
Interpreting \vhether 1 etters were
capital (when all are capital but some are larger than
others) or lower case had to be left to the cataloger's
discretion.
Punctuation has been duplicated as accurately
as possible (ex. - i f a comma seemed appropriate but jLt looked like a period, a period was typed; double underlininr,
usually appears herein as single underlining).
Erackets
([]) are used to indicate uncertainty about what appears
on the manuscript.
If empty brackets appear, there was
reason to believe that something was written, but is nnw
completely obscured.
"[sicl" appears after unusual spell-
7
ings to confinn that they appeared as such.
A slash (/)
indicates the end of a line on the manuscript.
(On
F.t
cataloging sheet, the end of a line, or a dash hyphenating
a word split between lines, are not representative of anythinr,) .
A period (.) following the last slash indicates
the end of the title (any punctuation to the left of a
slash appears on the manuscript).
If more than one TlTI.E PACE appears, the first one
is given under the capt ion,
"COVEH PAGE."
CAPTION TITLE:
a title appearing at the head of the first page of
music.

PHYS I CAL DES CR I PTT ON:
certain characteristics of the manuscripts, always
arranged as follows:
which part:
if a score or a piano part (which assumes
the solo line is present), it is entirely in concert pitch,
unless otherwise stated.
number of pa.ges:
counts front and back sides (unless
it is a single sheet written on one side only, or if it
is an accordian folded Ozalid part printed on one side only)
and includes blank pages and soft covers.
size:

lvlechani cal copy "of" tells the
brand of printed staff paper used for the original.
number of staves per page:
if the number of systems
is also listed, it implies that they are printed (not
added by the copyist).
how it is bound:
accordian fold (one long sheet print-
ed on only one side); r,amble hinge (a series of gummed
cloth tape bindings (each holding two sheets usually), all·
held together by string): cloth binding (like Gamble hinge
but no string); pages folded (but otherwise
100sE~);
in a
cover: taped (if it says "'-Jere" or "'vas taped," the tape
no longer holds it together); strinG (other than gamble
hinge); etc ..
whose \vri tine; and in '\lhat medi urn:
"holograph" means
the author \vrote the part out (mechanical copies have only
a "copy of" t11e author's holograph); "penscript by ... "
means it was handwritten in ink by the person designated.
