For your consideration is an Original "Geronimo's Own Medicine Song" Sheet Music, 1886, by Carlos Troyer. Provenance: Tombstone Western Heritage Museum, Tombstone, Arizona. Carlos Troyer, (1837 – 1920) born Charles Troyer, was an American composer known for his musical arrangements of traditional Native American melodies. In 1886, his publication of a transcription/adaptation of Apache Chief Geronimo's Own Medicine Song marked the beginning of a long professional interest in Native American music. Throughout the 1880s he published several transcriptions and arrangements of Native American songs, including those recounted by Frank Hamilton Cushing. Eventually, his works became further romanticized and amerindian, culminating in his final published piece, Midnight Visit to the Sacred Shrines, a Zuñian Ritual. Troyer was the author of "Transcriptions of the Traditonal Songs and Dances of the Zunis and other Southwestern Indian Tribes". The Indianist movement was a movement in American classical music that flourished from the 1880s through the 1920s. It was based on attempts by classical composers to incorporate American Indian musical ideas with some of the basic principles of Western music, with the goal of creating a new, truly American national music. The Tombstone Western Heritage Museum presented an ever-expanding collection of 12,000-plus objects related to Tombstone and the broader Old West. At the heart of the museum were original papers, photos, firearms, furniture, clothing, conveyances and other artifacts relating the history of the town and its citizens. A central display case was devoted to Earp family photos and keepsakes, including snapshots of brothers Virgil and Wyatt and a C.S. Fly–stamped photograph of Josephine Earp at age 18. One shelf held a locket of Josie’s, with facing photos of her and husband Wyatt. Above it a personal letter from Josephine, the canceled envelope addressed in Wyatt’s hand. Adjacent display cases held official and personal papers, possessions and photos (many by Fly) of such Tombstone icons as prospector and town founder Ed Schieffelin, first Mayor John Clum, gunsmith S.L. Hart, the aforementioned Earps and their McLaury and Clanton nemeses. Here, too, were mementos of the nameless everymen and women— miners and cowboys, actors, gamblers, saloon girls and prostitutes—who lived and died within blocks of this corner. The attached Tombstone Western Heritage Museum label on the face of the clear amber colour protective plastic sleeve reads, "1886 SHEET MUSIC Geronimo's Own Medicine Song", museum code, "D-64". Music measures 10.625"W x 13.75"L, sleeve is 11.5"W x 14.25"L, weight is U6.
