Scope and Content
Arrangement
This series has been arranged according to H numbers and App numbers in Imogen Holst's 'A Thematic Catalogue of Gustav Holst's Music'. Many of these manuscripts were stored in envelopes and music folio bags labelled by H number and annotated by both Imogen Holst and Rosamund Strode. Where additional information regarding the manuscripts is given on the envelopes and folio bags, they have been retained with the manuscripts, but where they simply state the H number and title of the manuscript, and therefore give no further information, they have been removed and destroyed.
