Sommer's musical scores were drawn on a variety of materials: art papers (white, off-white, tan, rose, blue, etc.), black paper, photographic paper, aluminum foil, in pencil, pen and ink, glue-color, ball point pent, etc. In these examples, a pencil line border has been added to scores drawn on the lighter color papers. The variations in paper color among the off-white pages was exaggerated in the process of saving the graphics files from Photoshop format to JPEG files--significantly larger files corrected the problem but were too large for convenient web use. The scores numbers are those used for the CD.
