Plowing through lost \u2013 but revivable \u2013 works at the Library of Congress (LOC), he felt everything from grief to euphoria. The one emotion that\u2019s remained constant is pride, for the colleagues and students who have stepped up to help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI made a point of having them not simply serve as assistants but as real researchers,\u201d Bartram said of UMW seniors, violinist Juliette Guillox and cellist Bethel Mahoney, and junior violinist Elyse Ridder. \u201cThey\u2019re clearly more self-confident as a result of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night in Dodd Auditorium, joined by legendary trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, the orchestra will play four of the eight fully restored pieces to have come out of the years-long endeavor Bartram hopes to continue.<\/p>\n<p>It was a lofty ambition to say the least: The LOC\u2019s musical holdings top 25 million. Paired down to <em>only<\/em> symphonic works by <em>only<\/em> American composers, the total falls to a mere 1.5 million. \u201cWhen we first talked about this project, they literally laughed at me,\u201d Bartram told the <em>With Good Reason<\/em> radio show when they interviewed him last March about Treasures.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_88094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88094\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"88094\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2018\/03\/14\/treasures-project-breathes-life-lost-masterworks\/photographer-200\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/Musical-Treasures-6.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3000,2421\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Norm Shafer&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;X-T2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Kevin Bartram works with students on a research project, \\&quot;Unearthing America&#039;s Musical Treasures - The Library of Congress Project\\&quot;, Friday, January 26, 2018.

Colleagues across the country joined in, recruiting their own students to help them take over where the masters left off and finish works that might never have seen the light of the stage.<\/p>\n<p>The team further narrowed the focus to only unknown works written for a full symphony orchestra before 1923, when the concept of \u201cpublic domain\u201d came into play. The first step alone \u2013 searching the stacks for a pool of prospective pieces to tackle \u2013 took a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes, alone in the library, these composers start speaking to you,\u201d Bartram said of the music, none of which was ever recorded. \u201cThe notes start leaping out. You start hearing the composer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students Mahoney, Ridder and Guillox jumped at the chance to join the effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in doing music-related research,\u201d Mahoney said. \u201cI knew this would be the perfect opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The work has been tedious. Original manuscripts have been transferred to a computer program, composers studied and scores analyzed. Hundreds of hours have gone into filling the gaps, adding missing musical notes and changing phrases to achieve full orchestral sound. There have been promotional public talks, CODA conferences, daylong trips to the LOC, weekly meetings, countless emails and texts, and, of course, rehearsals and performances, including a show last month clear across coasts in L.A.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_88095\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88095\" style=\"width: 187px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"88095\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2018\/03\/14\/treasures-project-breathes-life-lost-masterworks\/photographer-201\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/03\/Musical-Treasures-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1872,3000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Norm Shafer&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;X-T2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Kevin Bartram works with students on a research project, \\&quot;Unearthing America&#039;s Musical Treasures - The Library of Congress Project\\&quot;, Friday, January 26, 2018.
