Sheetmusic

Jo-ann, None of the music has ever been published as far as I have been able to find. I know that a lot of it was copyrighted by Beechwood Music / EMI but never made available in print. Much of what was written for Yma Sumac was done in the studio on-the-fly by the trial and error method of songwriting with a good deal being adlibbed by Yma Sumac herself since she is not able to read music. There are some transcriptions of the melody line that were made after the fact, but those are not available commercially either. Sorry!
