Michael Nyman Archive



The Michael Nyman archive of film music recording session tapes was donated to the University of Leeds by Michael Nyman in 2007.  The archive consists of about 500 audio sources on a range of analogue and digital media, and some associated paperwork including cue sheets and notated music. Most of the materials relate to the composer's film scores, but there is also some concert music, notably scores and recordings for his Harpsichord Concerto and Trombone Concerto. For information on the composer Michael Nyman, please see his website.

Users are advised that the data presented on this website is a sample of that collected from the Archive, and that a more detailed respository will be completed in due course. However, the sample data on this site may be searched using the “Find” function in your web browser



This research was funded by a British Academy small grant.
