[Identification of item], Charles Shatto collection, ARCHIVES SHATTO 1, The Music
Library, University of California, Berkeley.
All entries are in alphabetical order; where more than one version of a work exists,
these multiple versions are cross-referenced.
As Charles Shatto and his wife, Catherine Urner Shatto, collaborated on a number of
works, compositions such as "Chant" (after a quotation of Andre Gide), "Choral in D
minor" (both organ and orchestral versions) and "Comme une Berceuse", along with numerous
harmonizations by Charles Shatto of melodies by Catherine Urner, will be listed in the
Urner Catalog and the scores found in the Urner Archive, as the Urner Catalog was
compiled before the Shatto Catalog.
Also included in the Shatto Archive is a small manila envelope containing photographs,
correspondence, and publicity materials.
At present, the entire archive is located within the composer's studio at 567 27th
Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94121, U.S.A. Phone (415) 221-2344.
NOTE: The entire collection was transferred to the Music Library, University of
California, Berkeley in 1983.

these materials. David also remembers returning some of these "missing" manuscripts
around 1985.
An inventory of the printed editions currently in the archive which are available for
