FIRST Few stories in America's cultural history

are more interesting than the record of Louisville’s emergence, over the past two or three decades, as a center of the music arts— an emergence from a glamorous but earthier fame as the home of “beautiful women, fast horses and good Bourbon whiskey”.

It was in 1948 that The Louisville Orches¬ tra, conducted by Robert Whitney, followed the suggestion of Louisville’s Mayor Charles P. Farnsley and began a policy of commis¬ sioning a composer to write a work for world premiere performance on each subscription concert. Now, over 140 world premieres later, this non-profit group has assumed a unique position in musical history.

The fruits of this effort have not been con¬

fined to Louisville audiences. Not only has every major orchestra in the free world given performances of Louisville Orchestra com¬ missions, but by November, 1964, the Or¬ chestra had released sixty-six 12" LP records.

These “First Edition Recordings” have been supervised by the composers them¬ selves, to insure musical authenticity, and are recorded in finest high fidelity by Colum¬ bia engineers.

Initially available on a subscription basis only, the connoisseur subscribers have ac¬ quired a total of 150 compositions including six operas and 144 orchestral works. Com¬ posers from virtually every country of the free world are represented on this series. Their styles of composition range from con¬

ventional to atonal and experimental, giving the subscriber a true cross-section of the best musical creative art of our world today.

Critical reaction of the music world can best be summed up in the resolution passed by 41 eminent critics meeting in their Third Annual National Workshop. It reads in part: “Mem¬ bers of the Music Critics Workshop wish to conmiend without reservation the conception and operation of The Louisville Orchestra’s commissioning plan . . . the imagination and enterprise shown by the directors of The Louisville Orchestra deserve a tribute from the whole American musical community”.
