Hawkes' Photo-Play Series

Historical Publication Info

History

This series consisted of at least 96 compositions (possibly up to 120) intended for use as accompaniment for silent movies and was issued by Hawkes & Son from 1922 to 1927 (possibly 1928). The compositions were published as parts for a typical theater orchestra with a piano-conductor score. Arrangements for piano solo were simultaneously published in a series of volumes with six compositions per volume (this entry suggests 20 volumes were issued).
