Also, scores for the movie and stage orchestration and symphonic suite for West Side Story; and the original orchestral scores for the motion picture, Around The World In Eighty Days. The orchestration for this film was the work of Leo Shuken and Sid Cutner.
A majority of the contents in this collection are scores (in original, photocopied, and bound formats) for music arranged or composed by Sid Ramin throughout his career. The collection covers his work for Broadway, film, and television. It also includes scores arranged by Ramin for concerts and recording sessions by orchestral groups such as the Boston Pops and individual singers such as Barbra Streisand. Leonard Bernstein features prominently throughout the collection, as his musical West Side Story and its film adaptation are included, as well as several of Bernstein's other writings such as A Quiet Place, Mass, Jubilee Games, Sonata for Clarinet, and the Fanfare for John F. Kennedy.
While most of the folders are entirely composed of musical scores, some folders also contain notes and brief correspondence between Ramin and his collaborators, and some scores have written annotation from Ramin and his collaborators in the margins. For 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, there are several folders of newspaper clippings with reviews of the production. The collection also includes a matted photograph of Sid Ramin taken in 2009.
This collection is arranged into seven series.
