Overview
Overview
Tantara also distributes works by BYU's various bands, orchestras and ensembles. It also operates the Heritage endowment to promote the works of major LDS composers and serves as the distribution arm for the Barlow Endowment. The senior producer for Tantara Records was Benjamin R. Fales, a 2002 BYU graduate who served as General Manager of BYU Music Group from 2010 to 2025. Zach Collier became the General Manager and Senior Music Producer for BYU Music Group in 2025. The idea for Tantara Records was developed by K. Newell Dayley, who was then the chair of BYU's School of Music, along the model of the university press. The decision to go through with it was brought about in large part because of the non-standard rates music publishers threatened to charge BYU in the matter of its publication of the album An American Tradition of Folk Hymns.
