Sensational autograph musical manuscript by Frederick Lowe, containing a song entitled “We All Had a Glorious Time,” which was intended for Camelot but omitted from the published score, one page both sides, 9.5 x 12.5, unsigned, [1959], with the upper border marked in pencil, “We All Had a Glorious Time,” and Loewe writing eighteen lines of music to both sides of the sheet. In fine condition.
Based on the Arthurian legend and T. H. White’s The Once and Future King, Camelot opened on Broadway in New York on December 3, 1960, and had a run of 873 performances over two years. Production was staged by Moss Hart, with Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, and Robert Goulet in the leading roles (Arthur, Guenevere, and Lancelot). Written in collaboration with Alan Jay Lerner, the musical symbolized to many Americans an ideal society during the presidency of John F. Kennedy. In fact, its admirers included President and First Lady Kennedy, whose White House circle was often likened to Camelot. A rare early draft of the melody and words from Loewe’s own personal archive, written during the creation of this remarkable classic musical.
