content: The music in Subseries 1.3 is arranged alphabetically according to title. Each of the parts included is listed by instrument next to the title of its piece. The matching parts for many of these pieces can be found in the band libraries. Two folders have been retained separately from the rest of the miscellaneous music in order to better preserve their provenance. One of these is a collection of conductor parts arranged by Eddie Sauter, and another is a set of Sauter arrangements of various tunes for six brass instruments.

Also included in Subseries 1.3 are published sheet music versions of several popular tunes which Ray and his bands played at various points in time. These are listed alphabetically by title.

The music ephemera in the subseries consists of handwritten or printed set lists and records of Ray's music libraries. All the set lists seem to date from the latter half of the century, although few of them are easily identifiable. Library records also vary greatly, since Ray played with so many groups over such a long career.
