MUSA / Sample Edition (plate 1)

Plate 1. France 1917–Spain 1937, first page of the original version, from Harrison’s 1937 composition notebook, with several annotations from 1968. The later additions can be identified by the change in Harrison’s handwriting which took place ca. 1950 after he began to explore calligraphy; see, for example, the beginning ("2 perc. players") and the bottom of this page ("D.C.," "va," and "2 other gongs"). Notebook in the composer’s personal collection; used by permission.
