DRAM

DRAM is a scholarly resource of recordings, including CD-quality audio, liner notes, and essays from New World, Composers Recordings (formerly Composers Recordings Inc./CRI), and other important labels. The touchstone of the DRAM collection is the diverse catalogue of American music represented by the New World records and CRI labels, merged in 2007. From folk to opera, Native American to jazz, nineteenth-century classical to early rock, musical theater, contemporary, electronic, and beyond, New World has served composers, artists, students, and the general public since 1975. DRAM also includes music from a growing number of recoding labels and archives. More than four thousand albums’ worth of recordings from a distinctive set of forty-two independent labels and archives are available; new contents is continuously added.
