  • Full conductor score (8.5" x 11" or larger format)
  • Complete set of parts for standard wind band instrumentation
  • Additional parts for optional instruments (when applicable)
  • Program notes for concert programs

Part quantities follow standard wind band instrumentation (typically 2-3 copies per part for woodwinds, 4-6 for brass, adjusted for typical section sizes). Additional parts can be purchased separately if needed for larger ensembles.

Pricing: Complete wind band sets typically range from $150-$400 depending on work length and complexity. Volume discounts available for educational institutions purchasing multiple works.

Chamber Music Scores and Parts

Chamber works are sold as complete packages including:

  • Full score (chamber size format)
  • Individual parts for each instrument
  • Program notes

All parts are clearly marked with rehearsal letters/numbers matching the score, facilitating efficient rehearsals. Page turns are carefully considered to avoid awkward breaks in musical phrases.

Pricing: Chamber works typically range from $40-$120 depending on instrumentation and duration.

Solo Works and Accompaniments

Solo compositions are sold as packages including:

  • Piano score (for accompanied works)
  • Solo instrumental part
  • Program notes with background information

Pricing: Solo works typically range from $15-$45 depending on complexity and whether piano accompaniment is included.

Digital Scores

Digital PDF scores are available for immediate download. Digital versions include the same materials as print versions (full score, all parts, program notes) in high-quality PDF format suitable for printing or tablet reading.

Benefits of digital scores:

  • Immediate delivery via email or download link
  • Print as many copies as needed for your ensemble
  • View on tablets during rehearsals and performances
  • Environmentally friendly option
  • Typically 20-30% less expensive than print versions

Digital scores are licensed for use by the purchasing ensemble and may not be shared with other groups or individuals. According to Music Publishers Association, respecting music copyright protects composers' livelihoods and supports continued creation of new works.

Perusal Scores

Perusal scores are available free of charge for serious programming consideration. These temporary score copies allow band directors and ensemble leaders to review works in detail before committing to purchase.

Perusal score guidelines:

  • Provided as watermarked PDF files or temporary physical scores
  • Available for 30-60 days depending on programming timeline
  • Must be returned or deleted after perusal period
  • Cannot be copied or performed from
  • Purchase or return of materials required after perusal period

Request perusal scores through the contact page, specifying which works you wish to review and your intended performance timeline.

Educational Discounts

Educational institutions, school music programs, and youth ensembles qualify for discounted pricing on most works. Discounts typically range from 15-25% off standard pricing.

To receive educational pricing, provide proof of educational affiliation (school letterhead, educator email address, or institution purchase order). Educational licenses include the same materials and rights as standard purchases.

Rental Options

For one-time performances or trial programming, rental arrangements may be available for select works, particularly larger wind band compositions. Rental typically costs 40-60% of purchase price and includes:

  • Temporary use of full score and parts for specified performance period
  • Permission for single performance or concert series
  • Return shipping arrangements

Rental is cost-effective for trying new repertoire or programming works for special occasions without committing to purchase. Contact to discuss rental availability for specific works.

Copyright and Performance Rights

Purchase of scores includes permission for live performance by the purchasing ensemble. No additional performance licenses are required for concert performances, festivals, or competitions.

Recording rights (for commercial recording or broadcasting) require separate licensing. Educational recordings (for assessment, archival, or promotional purposes) are typically permitted without additional fees. Contact for recording license information.

According to ASCAP and BMI, performance rights organizations track and collect royalties for public performances. Venues with blanket performance licenses (most concert halls, schools, and churches) cover these requirements automatically.

International Orders

Scores are available for international purchase. Shipping costs vary by destination and order size. Digital scores offer an economical option for international customers, eliminating shipping costs and customs considerations.

International orders are typically shipped via postal service or international courier. Delivery times range from 1-4 weeks depending on destination. Expedited international shipping available for additional cost.

Return Policy

Physical scores may be returned within 30 days of purchase if unperformed and in new condition. Return shipping costs are responsibility of purchaser unless materials were damaged in transit or incorrect items were shipped.

Digital scores are non-returnable due to their nature, but technical support is provided if files are corrupted or fail to download properly.

Payment Options

Multiple payment methods accepted:

  • Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)
  • Institutional purchase orders (for educational institutions and organizations)
  • PayPal
  • Check or money order (for U.S. orders)

Institutional purchase orders must include tax ID information and authorized signature. Payment terms for purchase orders are typically net 30 days.
