{"value"=>"<p>This sub-series documents Hitchcock's work as a writer, which consisted of articles, books, criticism, lectures and recording liner notes. These files contain manuscripts, typed and printed drafts, notes, correspondence, lecture texts, and clippings.</p> <p>There are only three article files, two of which, <span class=\"title\">The Alderdice Ms. in the Clements Library: A Preliminary Report</span> and <span class=\"title\">The Music Performed on the Occasion of the Gettysburg Address</span>, contain manuscripts as well as correspondence.</p> <p>One of Hitchcock's books, M<span class=\"title\">usic In The United States: A Historical Introduction</span>, Third Edition, is documented by files which contain notes and correspondence related to each chapter, but not manuscripts, unless otherwise noted. (Files on another book, <span class=\"title\">Critical Commentaries for Charles Ives 129 Songs</span>, are in research files in series I.D.) The book <span class=\"title\">A Celebration of American Music</span>, a compendium of Hitchock's writings, was compiled and edited by others.</p> <p>Most of Hitchcock's published criticism dates from his stint as a newspaper music critic in Ann Arbor, Michigan, from 1949-1961. The files contain newspaper clippings and some correspondence in reaction to his reviews.</p> <p>In addition to his lectures to students, Hitchcock often spoke publicly on musical topics at meetings, symposia, concerts and other public events. Topics include Ives, Cowell, Aaron Copland, Oscar Sonneck and more general subjects such as minimalism and early American music. Some lecture files contain full texts while others contain only written notes Hitchcock spoke from. The collection also contains audio recordings of six Hitchcock lectures.</p>"}
