The B-Note publisher is in Hagen in Bremen ( Cuxhaven -based) music publishing , focusing on organ , church and orchestral music .
history
The publishing house was founded in 2003 by the editor and church musician Boris Hellmers. Initially, the publisher had the subtitle “Musikverlag free works”, since the publishing program consisted exclusively of works in the public domain that were offered as digital editions. Since 2004, magazine editions have also been sold, which are now almost exclusively offered. The “free works” has disappeared from the subtitle, since protected contemporary works and transcriptions are now being published in their own new editions.
program
The main focus of the publishing house is in the area of romantic and early modern organ music. Today the publishing house has the largest repertoire of reprints and new editions for numerous composers of this era. Further focus areas are sacred music for choir and organ, orchestral music ( performance material ) and music for harmonium and art harmonium .
The publisher attracted particular attention with the first editions of the original versions of George Gershwin's orchestral works , which had previously only been published in edited versions. The catalog now includes around 4,500 works by more than 700 composers.
