Arrangements of popular music from the areas of Hollywood films, Broadway theater, Tin Pan Alley, the Harlem Renaissance and operetta make up the bulk of the collection. The CBS library containing these arrangements was active from the late 1920's to the early 1970's, though most of the music represented was composed and published in the thirty year span of 1915 - 1945. Typical orchestration of the arrangements include vocal parts, piano, one or two violins, four or five saxophones, two or three trumpets, one or two trombones, banjo or guitar, bass and drums, though some are scored for as few as three parts or as large as a chamber orchestra with all woodwind and string instruments represented.
