Scope and Content: The special commission investigating the selection of an official state song was appointed in 1958 and reconstituted in 1961 and 1964. Headed by Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Pops Orchestra, the commission ultimately recommended “All hail to Massachusetts,” by Arthur J. Marsh, adopted as the state song by St 1966, c 644. In the course of its search the commission encouraged the submission of competing entries, as administered by this series.
Arrangement: Arranged alphabetically by composer
Notes: Transferred to Archives by Boston Symphony Orchestra Archives, from the papers of Arthur Fielder, 1983
