Manuscripts from Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Carl Stalling, etc.

Post by Fred G. Unn »

I have a FB friend that is currently on a tour of various archives that contain Billy May manuscripts, and he's gotten into some really amazing stuff including Nelson Riddle's original pencil score for Frank Sinatra's "I've Got You Under My Skin," original Disney pencil storyboards for "The Skeleton Dance," Tom & Jerry score sketches, etc. I'll post a few of his pics but check out his FB page here for more:

Reeds at the top are 2 Flutes, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, Bass Clarinet. I don't think I've seen a transcription of this that got that correct.
