Letter from A.M. Friend, Jr., Dumbarton Oaks, Harvard University, Washington 7, D.C. to Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, Dumbarton Oaks, June 14, 1952 Digital
Scope and Contents
Handwritten letter from A.M. [Albert Mathias] Friend, Jr. to Mildred Bliss suggesting they should send [Lorenzo Tardo] Tardo something to help his Ottoeco along [L'ottoeco nei mss. melurgici. A transcription in modern and Byzantine notation of the music of the Oktoechos (Idiomeli del Vespro" and "Idiomeli del Mattutino") from manuscripts at Grottaferrata, and in some other libraries of Italy and the Near East]. He seems very prolific these days, but he did give a charming lecture and made the music come alive over at the Fellows' Building.
