Series I: Collaborations with Performers, 1914-2007 (bulk 1958-2007)

This series contains scores and documents relating to Lindsey's collaborations - as a composer, arranger, conductor, and pianist - with various popular entertainers. The material primarily pertains to his work in television and on the concert stage. The series primarily comprises scores (conductor or concert, handwritten and typewritten) for arrangements, but also includes a number of original compositions (songs, television cues). Lindsey generally titled his arrangements with the name of the performer it was produced for, and not with the name of the original composer or lyricist. Judging from annotations, Lindsey appears to have performed live from a number of these scores. This series is divided into four subseries, arranged by collaborator. Subseries I.1 and I.2 comprise materials produced for Judy Garland and Merv Griffin respectively - two of Lindsey's closest and most notable collaborators. Subseries I.3 comprises arrangements that Lindsey produced for his wife, Judy Johnson: these arrangements are significantly represented in the Mort Lindsey collection. Subseries I.4 includes collaborations with a range of other performers whose work is less heavily represented within the collection.


Subseries I.1: Judy Garland, 1954-1987 (bulk 1963-1966)

This subseries contains material relating to Lindsey's collaborations with Judy Garland in the 1960s. Much of the material in this subseries relates to Lindsey's work on The Judy Garland Show (1963-1964), for which he arranged all the music, composed a number of cues and songs, conducted the band, and accompanied Garland on the piano. His music for Judy Garland are generally represented in annotated conductor scores (usually ozalid copies of calligraphy scores produced by a copyist): there are no instrumental parts and only one (manuscript) concert score. Through The Judy Garland Show, Lindsey arranged music for many of the show's musical guests: these performers are listed at the folder level. This collection does not include all of the music that Lindsey produced for The Judy Garland Show: the musical numbers from several episodes are missing in their entirety. This subseries includes a number of print documents that chart Lindsey's work with Garland, both on television and on stage. Material relating to Lindsey's work on films that starred Judy Garland can be found in Series II.

Most scores in this collection are manuscript concert scores (or copies thereof); however, some parts and conductor scores are also included. Although all the scores in this collection are labeled as collaborations with Griffin, it is not always clear which Griffin production these scores originated from.

Subseries I.3: Judy Johnson, 1914-1995 (bulk 1988-1995)

Lindsey married Judy Johnson in 1954 and ultimately produced a number of arrangements for the singer. This subseries comprises concert scores and parts for several of these arrangements. The context of these arrangements - whether they were produced for an album, for the concert stage, or for some other event - is not always clear, with the exception of two folders originally labeled as "audition music" and "bows music." Many of Lindsey's arrangements for Johnson are in sketch form: either handwritten onto, or interleaved with, the original published sheet music of the song that he was arranging. Many annotations suggest that Lindsey used these scores to accompany Johnson himself. Although Johnson was born "Betty Bonney" (and went by this name earlier in her career) and occasionally referred to herself by her married name, "Betty Lindsey," all of Lindsey's arrangements list her as "Judy Johnson."

Subseries I.4: Other performers, 1958-2007

This subseries groups together Lindsey's arrangements for a range of performers: Barbra Streisand, Pat Boone, Rod Stewart, Michael Bublé, Michael Feinstein, Elisa Fiorillo, Aaron Neville, Art Alexakis, Diane Schur, Burt Reynolds, Liza Minnelli, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Jimmy Dean, Katey Sagal, Les Brown, and Al Hirt. It is generally arranged according to collaborator, with material produced for the same performer held together where physically possible (although oversized material is boxed separately). This series primarily consists of handwritten concert scores (manuscript or photocopy), although parts and typeset concert scores are also present. The original context in which these scores were created is not always clear. However, many of these arrangements appear to have been made for studio albums: either because the scores are labeled as such, or because the arrangements can be heard on studio albums released around the time that the score is dated (for example, Lindsey's arrangements of "Let It Snow," "Winter Wonderland," and "The Christmas Song" for Aaron Neville from the early 1990s all appear on Neville's 1993 Soulful Christmas album, which was produced by Lindsey's son Stephen). This subseries contains scores and documents relating to various television specials, including Al Hirt's Fanfare, the ABC pilot for The Jimmy Dean Show, and Burt Reynolds's Take Me Home.
