ABOUT EM PUBLISHING

EM Publishing is the publishing arm of the internationally successful English Music Festival and sister arm to the groundbreaking and celebrated recording label EM Records. Its aim, like that of EM Records, is to make previously unavailable scores and books accessible to all; and, in particular, to facilitate the performance of, or to further research about, English music. All EM Publishing products are prepared to the highest degree of scholarship and take into account the latest musicological developments and researches. But, alongside these exceptional books and scores, with their critical stance and rigorous treatment, you will find some lighter-toned products – for instance, our beautiful and striking Musical Map, which depicts the names of British composers and musicians in locations strongly associated with them. You can also join in the heights of sartorial elegance with the EMF tie or scarf, which so grace lovers of English music at numerous musical events!
