Work with us

We are always interested in discovering new choral works and welcome submissions from composers. If you have a piece you would like us to consider, please email your score (in PDF or Sibelius format), ideally accompanied by a recording, to admin@choralmusicpublishing.co.uk. Owing to the high volume of submissions that we receive, we are unable to provide feedback unless we wish to take your piece forward. Information about specific commissioning projects will be posted on this page of our website as opportunities arise.

To the wild is a collection of 10 secular partsongs that expand the choral repertoire for SATB, SSA, and SABar choirs (accompanied or unaccompanied). Pieces should be 3–4 minutes in duration (or shorter) and set to copyright-free nature-themed texts.*

Text: Copyright-free on a nature-focused theme

Style: Open to various musical styles, provided they remain accessible for a wide range of choirs.
