Scope and Content Note

“Lu Yen Music Collection” includes 779 items dating from 1930’s to 2011, with a majority between

1964 and 2008. Among the items are music scores, writings, correspondence, cartoons, photographs,

programs, clippings, documents and printed materials, and reel-to-reel tapes.

Four categories are under “Music Scores”: manuscripts, music fragments and music materials, music

analysis, and hand copied scores. Among these the composition manuscripts are the most important part of

“Lu Yen Music Collection”. There are 105 finished and unfinished pieces composed between 1964 and 2008.

The first 76 pieces are arranged chronologically. The other undated 29 works are arranged in order of sizes.

In general, a piece with a basic structure and a title is put under this category and considered a complete

composition. In particular, “School Song for Animal University” (MS046) is an arrangement. It is listed here

chronologically because it is the only arranged work. Materials under the title of a composition may include

manuscripts, one to three manuscript photo copies, computer printout or printed scores, drafts, and related

raw materials such as series tables, program notes, orchestration, lyrics, or other papers created through the

process of composing this work. Photo copies often bear hand-written notes or revisions by the composer. Lu

Yen usually made a neat copy of the complete scores with felt-tip pen. This is an indication that the

composer considered a job done. Drafts are often done in pencil.

Music fragments and music materials: Lu Yen left behind numerous music fragments, most of them

written with pencil on music notation papers, ranging from a few bars to several pages. If these could not be

categorized with any of the above mentioned 105 compositions, then they belong to this category. This

category also includes series tables, tone-row table, range, and other materials for composition. Items are

arranged in chronological orders. Under music analysis Lu Yen had written several analyses of western

classical composers with notes, e.g. “Vingt Regards Sur l' Enfant-Jesus” by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992),

“Six Short Pieces” by Arnold Schoenberg, (1874-1951), etc. Also, Lu Yen supported his study in America by

transcribing music scores. Two hand transcribed scores are listed at the end of “Music Scores” category.

There are two parts under “Writing”. In the first part are Lu Yen’s written papers while the second part

includes the five articles by Lu Yen’s widow Cheng Shih-Ya commemorating Lu Yen. Hand written slips

from the final days of Lu Yen were also included here. Most of Lu Yen’s written record is not dated. The

content includes his Chinese and English resume written after his return to Taiwan, dates and brief

introductions to his compositions, speech notes for major awards, teaching materials and notes for his classes

at Soochow University, students’ homework with comments, class rolls, hand written Buddhist sutra, Yi-jing

and notes. There are also scribbled slips, envelopes, etc. Articles by Ms. Cheng Shih-Ya are dated from 2008,

the year Lu Yen passed away to September 2011. The 11 sheets of written conversation between Lu Yen and

Cheng Shih -Ya were the final record of Lu Yen’s life, when he was in the hospital bed unable to talk.

13

Three parts make up the category “Correspondence”: First there are letters from Lu Yen’s parents and

other family members when Lu Yen was in America. Most of these are from 1965 to 1967. Next there are

correspondence, cards, and wedding invitations of Lu Yen and Cheng Shih-Ya, dated from 1998 when they

first met to their marriage in 2007. Then there are other correspondence, including letters from friends,

recommendation letters for students, dated from 1965 to about 2000. All items in this category are arranged

chronologically.

In addition to composing music, Lu Yen was also fond of illustration and drawing cartoon. Characters

came alive under his simple pen strokes, filled of humor and childlike innocence. Most of the items under the

category of “Cartoons” are drawn on music scores, documents, envelopes, slips, and are undated. So they are

arranged according to the orders assigned by Ms. Cheng Shih-Ya. Only a few have been rearranged due to

their sizes. The art works include simple sketches in ball point pen, some colored and some on A3 papers.

The themes are mostly people and animals, especially the “old donkey” which he took pride to identify with,

and the “little turtle” which represents his wife. There are also landscapes, Buddha, etc.

One hundred and four photographs are on file, including 33 of Lu Yen, 24 of him and family or wife,

and 47 with students and friends. They range from 1980 to his death. These items are mostly in chronological

orders.

Programs clippings are in chronological orders. There are seventy programs starting with the first

performance of his work in America in 1967 and ending with the Lu Yen Memorial Concert at Soochow

University in 2010. Lu Yen composed several percussion pieces and had worked closely with Forum Music.

Many concerts were performed by members of Forum Music or performed at the recital hall of Forum Music.

Newspaper clippings are mostly between 1984 and 1999. Most of them are pertaining to award ceremonies

or concerts.

Documents and printed materials contain items of varied natures, including all non-hand written papers

and some items related to Lu Yen but do not belong to any of the above mentioned categories. They are

published music, identification cards, employment letters from universities, administration and teaching

documents, a valuable music sore and a valuable book of his collection, and journal articles concerning Lu

Yen. There are 44 items classified and chronologically arranged.

“Reel-to-reel tape” includes six reels of tape recording. These include part of Lu Yen’s music, and

fragments of other music. Only SR002 and SR003 have dates of recording. Recording dates of other reels are

estimated to be in the 1980’s. Also, SR005 and SR006 cannot be identified as Lu Yen’s works. These are kept

and duplicated for the time being. Content of these reels has all been digitized.
