- Title
Lambs Club scores, 1797-1986.
- Summary
The Lambs Club scores consists of the organization's library of published and manuscript music, representing a range of popular music, both vocal and instrumental, from the late 19th century up to about the 1960's. There are many pieces by prominent former members of the Lambs such as John Philip Sousa, George Gershwin, and Irving Berlin, as well as much original music composed for Lambs Gambols and other events by members like Fred Hillebrand, Adam Carroll, Sam Stept, James Caruso, and Eddie Weber, just to name a few. There are orchestra arrangements for the Lambs celebration for Ed Sullivan, scores of incidental music for Lambs TV, and in general, a representative cross-section of popular music and its creators particularly from the early 20th century.
