The David Kraehenbuehl Archive at Yale

In the summer of 2000, all personal copies of Kraehenbuehl's works, including compositions, articles, and sound recordings, were donated by Marie Kraehenbuehl to Yale University where, as The David Kraehenbuehl Papers, they are now permanently housed in the Irving S. Gilmore Music Library and are available for performance and study. Performers will find here a very attractive and varied body of music for all media. Scholars and graduate students are advised that both Kraehenbuehl's music and his pedagogical and theoretical legacy are rich topics for articles and dissertations.
