Abstract Details

2020, Master of Music (MM), Ohio University, Music History and Literature (Fine Arts).
Eusebia Simpson Hunkins (1902-1980) was an American musician and composer known most widely for her compositions based upon Appalachian music. She composed in the genres of opera, solo vocal music, choral music, piano music, and instrumental music. Her operas and choral music were performed in Athens, Ohio and across the country, and were published by Carl Fischer and the Lorenz Publishing Corporation, among others. Many of her works are preserved in manuscript. This thesis is an annotated catalog of the published and manuscript music of Eusebia Simpson Hunkins located in the Music and Dance Library Special Collections Room and the Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections of Ohio University. It describes the system of cataloging developed in consultation with Dr. Carla Williams, librarian of the Music and Dance Library. The thesis is organized into an introduction and three sections including a brief biography of Eusebia Simpson Hunkins, the annotated catalog and a general summary of her compositional style in the genres of piano and instrumental ensemble music, choral music, solo vocal music, and opera.
