Series IV: Biographical Material, 1968-2018

This series includes biographical information on Singleton. The information documents his life through biographies written by himself and others, the awards and fellowships awarded to him and his Curriculum Vitae throughout the years. These are full catalog lists of Singleton's published works over the years from the two publishing companies his music printed under, European American Music Corporation (earlier in his career) and Schott Music (currently). The only speech found in the collection is his Keynote speech at the 1994 Unisys African-American Composers Forum and Symposium.
