Part of Harry and Ida Culley fonds
Subseries consists of popular sheet music, predominantly performed by Harry and Ida "Claudette" Culley as part of their piano duo, the Black and White Spotters. With the exception of occasional songs for voice and piano; pieces for solo instrument and piano; and published arrangements for two pianos, four hands, the sheet music is mainly for solo piano. Second piano parts, which closely follow the solo piano sheet music, were written out by Harry Culley. The sheet music includes annotations and alterations for performance, and most include precise timings. The Culley's performed regularly on radio shows from the 1930s to 1950s and would have to fill a set amount of time. These timings would have helped them select their repertoire for each show. The subseries also contains some instrumental parts written in Harry Culley's hand, which were likely used while he was conductor of the Royal York Orchestra (1929-1930) or Music Director at the Royal Alexandra Theatre (1948-1955).
