History

In January, 1925, the company was formed as a merger of the Arthur W. Tams Music Library (1870) and the Witmark Music Library. At that time, the company managed the works of such notable composers as John Philip Sousa, Franz Lehar and Victor Herbert. Shortly after consolidation, it also began to manage music by George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse. It added to its collection during those early years two of its most popular works, "Anything Goes" and "Girl Crazy", on which was based the musical "Crazy for You". The company has continued to expand its collection with many notable and award-winning musicals, including more recently "The Will Rogers Follies", "Titanic" and "City of Angels."
