- Abstract:
  The article discusses the history of the New York City Composers' Forum-Laboratory and how the federal government helped develop it. The forum used to hold free concerts from composers such as Aaron Copland and Henry Cowell. The concerts were followed by question and answer sessions. The transcripts of these discussions are held at the National Archives II, in College Park, Maryland. The author discusses why these transcripts are important for modern musicology research.
