This series consists of links to audio materials originally recorded under the auspices of The Alice M. Ditson Fund of Columbia University that were digitized in 2006. The individual records in the Digital Libraries Collection website contain more detailed description.
Included in this collection are important works commissioned by the Ditson Fund during its early years, by Samuel Barber, Jack Beeson, Walter Piston, and Wallingford Riegger, among others. From 1945 to 1952, the Fund sponsored the week-long Columbia Festival of Contemporary American Music. Along with significant orchestral concerts, the Festival mounted productions of commissioned operas, including Norman Lockwood's Scarecrow and Virgil Thomson's The Mother of Us All. These and other operas premiered by the Ditson-supported Columbia Opera Workshop are to be found here. In addition to a rich collection of live-performance recordings, the Archive includes many of the master recordings released through the American Recording Society, another of the diverse activities in support of American music sponsored by the Ditson Fund.
