bespoke editions of excellent music
Established in 2025 after two decades of editing, arranging, publishing, and performing, Steinbock Press exists to bridge the gap between composer and performer. Clear scores. Fair compensation for editor and composer. A curated collection of program-worthy music.
Bring this music to life today!
As early as 1988, musicologist Philip Brett was lamenting the future of the editing of so-called “early music.” His prediction? As a casualty in the quest for authenticity, “the editor will be lucky to find employment running the copying machine and brewing the herbal tea.” So why are you looking at new editions, from a new imprint, launching in 2025? And how is any of this relevant to choral music composed in the last ten years?
STEINBOCK PRESS exists to bridge gaps and create connections. Connections between composers and performers. Connections between historical works and modern interpretations. Editions strive to honor the composers intentions, whether they’re a trusted friend or baroque klein-meister - and ultimately, you, the performer, support the continued creation of new works and new editions. Living composers get 70% of the profits, the rest supports the work of STEINBOCK PRESS. Please support the entire arts ecosystem by not photocopying music, and paying for as many copies as you make - lest we all be brewing the herbal tea.
