Biographical Note
Clare Grundman (1913-1996), an Ohio native, earned two music degrees from OSU (B.S.M.E., 1934; M.A., 1940). Following his studies, and with teaching experience at all levels, he moved to New York City where he was a successful composer, arranger, orchestrator, and conductor for radio and television shows, films, theater, and ballet. Many of his works were published by Boosey and Hawkes. Noted especially for his band compositions, he was elected to ASCAP and to the American Bandmasters Association and received many awards and honors throughout his career, including the American Bandmasters Association's Edwin Franko Goldman Citation (1983), and the OSU School of Music's Alumni Award (1993). In addition to his musical activity, he co-authored The New York Times Crossword Puzzle Dictionary (with Tom Pulliam, 1974, etc.).
Scope and Contents
The Archive consists primarily of manuscript scores (many with detailed markings for publication) and sketches representing over 100 items; mostly pencil on paper, some master transparencies, ozalid prints, and photocopies. Included are works for symphonic band and orchestra; preliminary sketches and condensed scores of band works; miscellaneous instrumental works; choral music with piano accompaniment; songs for voice and piano; scores of recorded dubbing music for cinema, radio, and television; and miscellaneous sketches. There is also correspondence between the executor of the Grundman Estate, OSU personnel, and staff at Boosey and Hawkes about the gift of these materials to OSU and their potential use (copyright, etc.). The Archive does not include any of Grundman's personal correspondence.
Related Materials
A copy of Grundman's master's thesis,
"Classroom Materials for Elementary Instrumental Training" (OSU, 1940), is available to scholars using this archive. OSU also owns numerous published scores and some recordings of works by Grundman. See Boosey and Hawkes online catalog for information about Grundman works they published.
