The music in Series 1 is arranged into five sub-series: Sub-series 1.1: Original Holographic Theatre and Motion Picture Music Manuscripts, 1930-1960, Sub-series 1.2: Bound Presentation Scores, 1931-1982, Sub-series 1.3: Original Individual Song Manuscripts, 1938-1965, Sub-series 1.4: Published Sheet Music, 1930-1980 and Sub-series 1.5: Published Songs, Instrumentals and Song Collections, 1928-1987. All material is arranged alphabetically by show, film or song title.
Sub-series 1.1 contain Warren's original holographic music manuscripts for each show or motion picture. Folders will not necessarily contain a complete score for each production. It is possible that some material was retained by the motion picture studios where Warren worked. Of particular interest are a number of folders containing untitled music sketches where it is possible to identify tune fragments that may have been used in later compositions.
Subseries 1.2 contains bound presentation scores. There are four complete scores, from main titles to end credits, for Yolanda and the Thief, The Harvey Girls and two copies of the score for Summer Holiday. As well as the work of Warren, these scores include the work of the studio arrangers and orchestrators who worked on the picture, in the case of these three MGM productions, Conrad Salinger. Other scores are gifts from other fellow composers or for two of Warren's Broadway shows and one un-produced film. Some of the scores include the libretto as well as the music.
Subseries 1.3 contain original music manuscripts for individual songs. These manuscripts include vellum and paper song sheets. Files are listed according to song title and retain the original order as found when the material was transferred from Four Jays Music Corporation.
Subseries 1.4 contains published sheet music for songs from the shows/motion pictures listed. Not every folder will contain a full compliment of the songs from that particular project. These were collected by Warren. These publications are incomplete in their scope. They are arranged alphabetically according to the original project title.
Subseries 1.5 contains published versions of individual songs and song collections. The songs are arranged alphabetically by title.
