New Choral and Organ Scores Wanted: Join Us in Creating Accessible Music

Beethoven scribbling furiously!

We are currently looking for new choral and organ scores to publish for our customers. Our active customer base spans the USA, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and of course, the UK.

The Demand for Accessible Music

New, accessible music is always needed. It should be suitable for parish organists or ideal for choirs of moderate ability level. We are looking for compositions that avoid complex arrangements like 16-part Latin motets. We prefer fresh texts that haven't been set numerous times before. If you're a composer, consider submitting your work as a PDF to our email address (mail@timknightmusic.com).

Some pieces may be released as downloadable files, with a print-on-demand option. Others will be available as printed copies.

Understanding the Composer/Publisher Relationship

If you're an unknown composer, getting your piece noticed can be challenging. We encourage you to read the section below before submitting your music.

We prefer composers who actively play the instrument they write for. They understand its difficulties and strengths. Similarly, we value composers who conduct choirs. These individuals grasp the principles of vocal writing and often have connections with other choirs.

Sacred choral music is a saturated market. Many church choirs are disappearing, making it essential for new music to offer something fresh. Established musicians often provide recordings to promote scores. It is easier to market music when composers are actively involved in the music community. They should have a network that can help promote their work.

Simply sending a score and hoping for success at the publisher's door is not enough. Especially in an age of self-publishing, proactive promotion is key. All our successful composers maintain websites and actively help promote their music via social media and more.

Tips for Successful Submissions

1. Know Your Audience: Understand the types of choirs and organists who would benefit from your music. Tailor your pieces to their skill levels and interests.

   
   

2. Promote Yourself: Create a website that showcases your work. Utilize social media platforms to share updates and connect with other musicians.

   
   

3. Network: Engage with choirs and music groups in your area. Building relationships can lead to opportunities for your music to be performed.
