It is important to note that the earliest restoration efforts were broad in nature, starting in the early 1970’s with research work in the correct performance of baroque and romantic period music played on period instruments, musical instruments either from the period in which the music originated or reproductions of these instruments. We think it would be beneficial to look back at the efforts taken by others in previous years to restore and preserve scores of pre-1943 Broadway musicals.
Of great interest to the JMV Art Preservation Foundation is the restoration, reconstruction and preservation of musicals written prior to 1943, the year Oklahoma! changed everything. Sometimes, there is a nationally coordinated effort mostly, the efforts are led by a group of enthusiasts within a sector.
Whether the subject matter is artifacts from the Revolutionary War, homes of famous people, native art or Scotch-Irish traditional music, the efforts to restore and preserve the past have been intermittent and poorly organized. While the United States, in general, has a habit of looking forward, building new, starting over, every now and then a small group of Americans look back at earlier efforts and decide some of it is worth saving.
