Preferred Citation
Items from this collection should be cited as '[Title or description of manuscript item], Papers of Andrew Ford, National Library of Australia, [class/series/file/item number(s)]'.
Provenance
The first consignment was donated to the Library by Andrew Ford under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme in February 2001. Further papers were received in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2019.
Related Material
The Library also holds monographs and many published scores by Ford. See catalogue for details.
Arrangement (First Consignment)
The collection has been organised into 10 series by the Library.
Within series 1-8 and 10 the order of the papers has been imposed by the Library. Within series 9 original order has been maintained.
In the description for series 2-9, the author of texts/libretti is indicated in parentheses and additional information given on scores re dedications, commissions, etc. has been included in square brackets. Occasionally other notes are given if the material is other than a complete score. A list of abbreviations is located at the end of the Collection Summary.
The series containing scores are based on categories established in The new Grove dictionary of music and musicians, 2nd edn. Any system for categorising works will involve some overlap and blurring, particularly when dealing with the music of twentieth-century composers, in which genre distinctions tend to be less clear. Here, for example, there is overlap between solo vocal and stage works; and the distinction between orchestral and ensemble works is also unclear at times.

Biographical Note
Andrew Ford was born in 1957 in Liverpool, England and is a composer, broadcaster and writer. Ford studied composition with Edward Cowie and John Butler at the University of Lancaster. He was a fellow in Music, University of Bradford, from 1978 until 1982, during which time he gained considerable experience conducting campus choirs and orchestras. In 1982 his Portraits for piano won the Yorkshire Young Arts Composers' Award.
Ford came to Australia in 1983, and was on staff of the Faculty of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong for the next 12 years. He was composer in residence at the Sydney Opera House in 1985, with Evos, WA, in 1991, and with the Australian Chamber Orchestra from 1992 to 1994; and was the Peggy Glanville-Hicks Fellow in Composition from 1998 to 2000. Ford has also appeared as a conductor of contemporary ensembles.
Ford has composed for specific performers, such as tenor Gerald English and pianist Lisa Moore, and has received many commissions for works, both within Australia and internationally. He writes in a wide range of genres for concert hall, theatre and radio. Unusual in his output are his operas for young performers (The world knot, 1987-88 and The piper's promise (1986-87).
Ford's music has been performed in Australia, North and South America, Southeast Asia and Europe and has featured at international festivals in Aspen, Houston, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Huddersfield, Ferrara, Istanbul, Seoul and Salzburg. In 1998 he won the Marienberg-Sydney Spring award for the most outstanding original work of that year's Sydney Spring Festival of New Music, and more than 30 of his works have been commercially recorded.
In 1995, Ford left his academic post to pursue broadcasting with the ABC. His 10-part series Illegal harmonies was broadcast in 1997 by ABC Classic FM and later on Radio National. The book Illegal harmonies: music in the 20th century (1997) resulted from the series. Dots on the landscape was jointly commissioned by ABC Classic FM and Radio National and was broadcast in 2001. Ford won Sounds Australia Awards for his broadcasts on music in 1989 and 1990.
Ford has reviewed CDs for 24 hours since 1990 and his book Composer to composer: conversations about contemporary music was published in 1993. In 1998 he won the Geraldine Pascall prize for critical writing.

Item Descriptions
Class MS 9549. Original Consignment, 1978-2000
2.18 metres,The first consignment consists of three main categories: correspondence, Ford's autograph scores and interviews with composers conducted by Ford.
The correspondence has primarily two concerns: Ford's compositions and his book of interviews with composers, Composer to composer, published in 1993. The scores make up the bulk of the collection, but represent only about half of his output to date. The date range is 1981-2000, the greatest number occurring in 1991, 1993-94 and 1999. The set of interviews is also incomplete.
Series 1. Correspondence, 1978-2000
All correspondence has been left in original order, although there does not appear to be any particular sequence to the letters. The order of files was imposed by the Library. The form of correspondence varies, including cards, postcards, letters and faxes.
A large proportion of the letters in files 1 and 2 are in connection with Andrew Ford's book of interviews with composers, Composer to composer: conversations about contemporary music, Sydney: Allen and Unwin, 1993. Thus the majority of letters are in the early 1990s. Major correspondents include: Leanne Bear, Elliott Carter, Brian Ferneyhough (also letter to Ferneyhough from Ford), Alexander Goehr, Oliver Knussen, Vincent Plush, Paul Robinson and Peter Sculthorpe.
The remainder of the correspondence includes letters from performers, composers, poets, recording and broadcasting firms and covers subjects such as copyright, commissions, and performances as well as books and broadcasts by Ford. Most of the letters are written to Ford, but there are also about a dozen from Ford. Although the date range is 1978-1998, the bulk of the correspondence is in the 1980s. Major correspondents include: Sebastian Barker, Henri Bok, Adrian Jack (Institute of Contemporary Arts), Lisa Moore, Stephen Plaistow (BBC), Craig Raine (Faber and Faber), Christopher Reid and Harry Sparnaay.
Series 2. Stage works, 1987-1999
Series 3. Orchestral works, 1990-1999
This series includes works for chamber and string orchestra. Pieces 4-7 were brought together by Ford to form the movements of Manhattan epiphanes as follows:

v Blue poles (the score of which is not included in the collection)
Rothko I, Rothko II and Utopia parkway were earlier performed individually (1994) and all movements may be performed separately. The scores are listed here according to the titles and dates on the manuscripts themselves.

Pieces within the two packets have not been individually numbered. Most sketches are undated.

Series 10. Interviews with composers, c. 1992-1993
This series consists of interviews with composers conducted by Andrew Ford, primarily for his book, Composer to composer: conversations about contemporary music, (Sydney: Allen and Unwin, 1993). Seventeen of the composers interviewed appear in the book, which includes 30 composers (Knussen and Kueris are not included). Since they were not intended for broadcast, the interviews are often informal in style and most of them simply start without any preamble, title or date information. Unless otherwise stated, interviews are on 90 minute cassettes (although they may not use the whole tape). The sound quality of the recordings is good.
See also series 1/1-2 for correspondence with composers concerning the book.
