The series consists of sheet music from about 1929-2009 composed by both John Franceschina and other musicians. Though the pieces were formed in this time frame, the creation of the music dates earlier in the 20th century. Several of the pieces are musicals and music created based on plays. Materials are both hand written and printed. Some of the original folders contained notes which are included at the item level. The sheet music are connected to the plays but were seperated for organization purposes.
