This introductory chapter provides an overview of the Federal Music Project (FMP). Initiated in 1935 as a part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal plan for fiscal recovery, the FMP composed one of several cultural programs—designated Federal Project Number One, or Federal One—of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
