This series includes correspondence files for several prominent correspondents (Box 1), as well as the correspondence with Moore's mother, Myra D. Moore (Boxes 2-9). These materials were originally cataloged at the item level; catalog cards for individual persons/items can be found in the card catalog the Rare Book & Manuscript Library, but they are not available online.
Much of the correspondence in Series I is between Moore and his mother, Myra D. Moore. This correspondence, which spanned a 27 year period from the fall of 1906 to late 1933 represents perhaps the most comprehensive record of Moore's life, for it was his habit to write to his mother every Sunday, a ritual to which he was remarkably faithful. The various stages of Moore's life are apparent in his letters: his first experience away from home at the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, his undergraduate years at Yale, time spent in a Maritime Academy in Maryland, his service in the Navy during the First World War, his tenure as Musical Director of the Cleveland Museum of Art, further travels in Europe, his position in the Music Department of Columbia University (1926-1962). The letters also follow the course of Myra Moore's life, where she lived in Brooklyn, Long Island, and finally Orange County California.
Correspondence added to the collection at Columbia University after 1991 was not cataloged at this level. Additional correspondence for individuals named in Series I can be found in Subseries II.3.
This series contains correspondence that was arranged in folders, but not cataloged at the item-level (cataloged correspondence is in Series I).
There is material relating to the curriculum and administration of Columbia's Music Department, which Moore chaired from 1940-1962, in this series and in Series III. Correspondence related to Moore's membership in the Century Club, the MacDowell Association, and the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and correspondence concerning his editorship of the Prentice Hall Music Series is also included in this series.

Ballad of Baby Doe (Vocal score), 1958, 2 Volumes

This early version varies from the final New York version of 1958, most notably with the inclusion of "Out of the darkness" (Act 1, Scene 2) and "Wake snakes" (Act 2, Scene 1) and the later added "Poker scene" lacking. Act 2, Scene 2 (i.e. Scene 3 in New York version) was altered and reordered significantly.
