DESCRIPTION: The director's script (dialog and song lyrics) and master sheets of the musical score of "The Promised Valley," a musical drama which tells the story of the pioneer migration to Utah, make up this series. The fictional, two-act play was created in its entirety for the 1947 centennial celebration honoring Utah's pioneers. Broadway playwright Arnold Sundgaard (1909- ) of New York City wrote the story and song lyrics. Utahn Crawford Marion Gates (1921- ) composed the music over a six-month period. The condensed conductor's score was transcribed to full orchestration and master sheets reproduced by the ozalid process. Copyists made master sheets for each instrument (56 pieces) and vocal part.
