Renowned composer and songwriter Burt Bacharach, known for his iconic melodies of the 1960s and '70s, will have his extensive collection of music scores and parts donated to the Library of Congress. The announcement of this significant acquisition was made by Bacharach's widow, Jane Bacharach, and the Library of Congress in a joint statement released on Thursday.
The collection includes thousands of music scores and parts, featuring Bacharach's arrangements of classics such as “The Look of Love,” as well as musical sketches for beloved songs like “Alfie” and “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.” Bacharach, a Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winner, passed away last year at the age of 94, leaving behind a legacy of timeless music.
