This collection contains materials from the personal files of keyboard musician and composer Bernard Katz (1925-2004), as donated by his sister-in-law Fern Katz. Katz was always in demand as an accompanist, teacher and arranger, and he worked with many well-known performers and musical groups throughout a 60-year career. The collection includes some published sheet music and a large number of music manuscripts of compositions and arrangements by Katz. It contains the music manuscripts for Katz's major composition, the 63-song cycle of A.E. Housman's "A Shropshire Lad." There are also documents, photographs, memorabilia, and several boxes of AV materials, which have been transferred to the Reuther Library AV Department.
