LC Commissioned Composers Web Archive
-
The Music Division has commissioned over 450 composers since 1925, and continues to do so annually. World premiere performances of these commissions usually take place on the Library of Congress Concert Series. Original scores, sketches, and electronic music notation files from these commissions comprise a unique part of the Music Division's collections. The LC Commissioned Composers Web Archive contains websites of composers who have been commissioned by Music Division funds. This web archive is not only a resource in itself, but also an information pathway to the Music Division's unique collection materials and a digital record of the Music Division's role as an active commissioning body in the new music community.
