This collection is comprised of materials documenting correspondence, coursework, and memorabilia produced and collected by Bert Henry and Dr. Jerome Gross, as students and proponents of the Schillinger System of Musical Composition (SSOMC). The Schillinger System of Musical Composition, was invented by Russian composer and theorist Joseph Schillinger. The system is modeled on mathematical processes and includes theories of rhythm, harmony, melody, counterpoint, form, and semantics.
The bulk of these papers consists of correspondence coursework undertaken by Dr. Jerome Gross under the direct tutelage of Joseph Schillinger, although not all lessons are accounted for here. Related materials include theory exercises by both Dr. Gross and Mr. Henry, clippings and pamphlets on the Schillinger method, and correspondence. Correspondence includes exchanges between Dr. Gross and the Schillingers regarding his progress, as well as Mr. Henry’s Schillinger-related educational ventures. The finding aid for this collection (BCA-006) is located here.
This series contains letters written to Schillinger from Jerome Gross and Bert Henry as well as ephemera related to the Schillinger System and Schillinger himself.
