Music materials from the Louise Talma Papers span the period 1875 to 1996, with the majority dating from 1928 to 1994. These consist chiefly of holograph manuscript scores, sketches, tone rows, and photo-reproduced manuscripts bearing annotations in the composer's hand. Many works are accompanied by errata, correspondence, programs, notes, and other items of interest. Talma's tendency to date sketches and manuscripts at different stages in her creative process is useful for tracing her compositional shift from neoclassicism to serialism and atonality. Her final work, Spacings (1994), was completed at Yaddo only two years before her death and marked the end of a nearly seventy-year career as a composer. Notable manuscripts in the collection include holograph scores for the opera The Alcestiad (1958) and the oratorio The Divine Flame (1946-1948), Four-Handed Fun (1943), Piano Sonata no. 1 (1943), and her award-winning Toccata for Orchestra (1944).

Talma also possessed a variety of music manuscipts from other composers, many of whom she met while at Fontainebleau, the MacDowell Colony, and Yaddo. Her close relationship with Lukas Foss is evident by the significant quantities of inscribed holograph scores that the renowned composer gave to Talma throughout the 1940s and 1950s. These include his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra no. 2 (1949-1951), Fantasy Rondo (1944-1945), The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1949), Psalms (1956), and Song of Songs (1946). The collection also contains holograph scores by Leonard Bernstein, Norman Dello Joio, and Irving Fine, as well as an 1875 printed edition of Karl Goldmark's Symphony no. 1 inscribed by Marian MacDowell to Talma.
