Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series contains original and arranged music—handwritten, printed, and photocopied— for big and small bands. Most material is undated but generally represents Lewis's book from the late 1970s forward following a fire that destroyed most of his older arrangements. Many charts are assigned numbers; some works appear multiple times throughout the collection under various numbers and/or in combination with other pieces, suggesting their inclusion in more than one performance set.
