bioghist: {"value"=>"William “Bill” Elliott (1944-1985) was born in Charlotte, NC, where he learned old vaudeville songs and routines from his father, an ex-vaudeville performer who died in 1962. At the age of 19 Elliott moved to New York City and began writing music for Off-Off-Broadway productions in Greenwich Village. One of the first was a play by Tom Eyen called Little Miss Frustrata, which was produced in 1964 by La Mama E.T.C. He wrote the music for at least two other Eyen plays, Can(’t) You See a Prince? and Cinderella Revisited, both produced in 1965. According to an article in the New York Times, Elliott spent two years in Rome, and conducted the Italian production of Hair (opened Sept. 5, 1970). From 1971-1978 Elliott was a musical director for the experimental theatre La Mama E.T.C. This venue provided the foundation for his later success, evidence of which is in the OBIE award he won for the music to C.O.R.F.A.X. (Don’t Ask) in 1974. Over the next three years he attended classes at Juilliard and the Manhattan School of Music, but through their Extension Division rather than a formal degree program. His association with the New York Shakespeare Festival and the Public Theater began in 1976, when he wrote incidental music for Henry V. During this time he also won a National Endowment of the Arts grant, which he used to study at the Aspen Music School under Michael Czajkowski. The next major project for Elliott was as a vocal arranger for Ain’t Misbehavin’, a musical based on songs by Fats Waller. He contributed arrangements for five songs, several of which earned critical praise (e.g. Black and Blue, The Jitterbug Waltz). Other work for the Public Theatre, including Othello (1979) and Mother Courage (1980), put Elliott in line for the job that would be his greatest accomplishment - adapting Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance for a new audience. Elliott conducted both the Central Park and Broadway productions, and was in charge of the music for the cast recording, the feature film, as well as the Los Angeles and London productions. He continued his involvement with Off-Broadway productions for the remainder of his life, specifically as conductor, arranger, etc. for Non Pasquale (1983; an adaptation of the opera Don Pasquale by Donizetti) and serving as musical supervisor for a version of La Boheme (1984). He died of causes related to AIDS on October 22, 1985.

scopecontent: {"value"=>"The William Elliott Papers consist primarily of his work on Off-Broadway and Broadway productions. The bulk of scores in the collection are from Pirates of Penzance (14 boxes), as well as a significant amount of production materials. In some cases, the materials (scores or production materials) do not contain evidence of Elliott's connection. There are no papers from his childhood or the early years of his career (i.e. the 1960s), and very little material with insight into his personal life."}

{"value"=>"The William Elliott papers are arranged in four series:\n<ul class='arrangement series-descriptions'>\n<li><div class='series-title'><a href='/mus/20299#c558467'>Series I: Personal Papers</a></div>\n<div class='series-date'>1965-1984, undated</div>\n<div class='series-extent'>0.75 linear feet (2 boxes)</div>\n<div class='series-description'>Consists primarily of school homework and notes, as well as some professionally related items such as instruction manuals for synthesizers. One folder contains a genealogy of his mother's family, and Elliott is mentioned. The second box contains sheet music owned by Elliott, although the context of where or how it was used is not always obvious. This series does not contain any personal documents other than his resume.</div></li><li><div class='series-title'><a href='/mus/20299#c558500'>Series II: Scores</a></div>\n<div class='series-date'>1971-1985, undated</div>\n<div class='series-extent'>11.67 linear feet (35 boxes)</div>\n<div class='series-description'>This series best represents Elliott’s career with the New York Shakespeare Festival. The only major work from his time at La Mama E.T.C. is C.O.R.F.A.X. (Don’t Ask), for which he won an OBIE award for best music in 1974 (the Off-Broadway awards given by the Village Voice). There are scores for two other known productions from La Mama: Jack’s Mother is Missing Her Melons and Juba. His work on Ain't Misbehavin' is also well documented. Some of the scores are from short-lived or unknown productions, or were collaborations that he did not receive credit for.</div></li><li><div class='series-title'><a href='/mus/20299#c558991'>Series III: Production Materials, 1970-1984, undated</a></div>\n<div class='series-extent'>1.668 linear feet (4 boxes)</div>\n<div class='series-description'>Arrangement: Alphabetical These boxes contain papers related to the productions Elliott worked on in the 1970s and 1980s, and include scripts, lyrics, articles, programs, audition comments, schedules, and other notes. There are no photographs in this series. Of note are scripts such as Shakespeare's Henry V, which has Elliott's notes on the show's music written in the margins. Another important folder holds affidavits and other legal information pertaining to a lawsuit Elliott filed against an Irish production company that was using his music for Pirates of Penzance. In one of the affidavits, Elliott detailed the exact work he performed when he adapted the original Gilbert and Sullivan score.</div></li><li><div class='series-title'><a href='/mus/20299#c559076'>Series IV: Oversized materials</a></div>\n<div class='series-date'>1980-1982, undated</div>\n<div class='series-extent'>0.917 linear feet (2 boxes)</div>\n<div class='series-description'>This series contains oversized scores for Non Pasquale and Pirates of Penzance.
