Griffes, Charles Tomlinson

Music by C.T. Griffes: Two Birds Flew into the Sunset Glow, Mir War Als Müsste Ich Graben, It Was the Time of Flowers, Gedicht um Heine.

Manager's Note:

Included in this file is a promotional note of a concert at Indiana University, dated May 4, but with no year. In it, it is stated that the concert would include "unpublished and previously unperformed works" of the composer in question. The note goes on to say that that the music was discovered by a graduate student, Donna K. Anderson while doing preliminary research on Griffes.

Donna K. Anderson went on to earn her Ph.D. in musicology from I.U. and become a world-wide expert on Griffes, retiring from SUNY Cortland in 1977, leading the Manager to speculate that the note dates back at least 50 years.
