Adams-Clement Coll., Div. of Political History
A collection of songs, usually with piano accompaniment, chiefly in Italian but some in French and English, copied from popular favorites of the day (Mozart, other Italian operas, &c.). In several hands, presumably of music teachers. An early item is initialed "M.E.R.," 18 April 1822; a group in French toward the end bears a notation that they were chosen and copied for "Madame L.C. Adams" to sing by "E.B.D.," Washington, April–May 1824. Next to last item is dated 21 April 1828.
Cp. LCA's Collection of printed vocal music, no date, also in DSI (Ac 19689).
