File — Box: 11
Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Lawrence Welk Show Advertisement Sheet Music Collection consists of music that was produced by Welk’s arrangers for the purpose of advertising products produced by the show’s sponsors. This includes the companies of Plymouth, Dodge, Aqua Velva, Chevrolet, Mutual of Omaha, and more. During the processing of the advertisement music, various loose uninventoried arrangements were discovered intermixed among them. They have been organized under the Other Music Series. It is unclear if they were used on the show, however they appear to have been produced by Welk’s hired arrangers. The Segment Themes Series are short musical interludes used on the television show during transition times between performances and sets. During the processing of this collection, it was determined to remove the conductor’s scores and house them separately in oversize boxes, due to their size. When using this collection, keep in mind to check the Score Series to see if a score exists for the arrangement of interest.
