Composers

This collection features the musical compositions of Donald Betts, a Macalester College faculty member and accomplished composer. It includes original inked master scores alongside annotated copies bearing Betts’s own revisions and performance notes. The materials provide insight into his creative process and document the breadth of his work across a range of instrumental and vocal forms.

The Ian Morton papers contains personal and professional correspondence, newspaper articles detailing his works at Macalester with a focus on electronic compositions, various musical scores (many adaptations of Robert Nathan's works), as well as personal affects and ephemera.
