Sales cooperation launched
The English publisher Oxford University Press and Carus-Verlag Stuttgart will be working together to distribute a selection of their most popular choral editions and organ collections.
Choral music from Great Britain is becoming increasingly popular in Germany and Oxford University Press (OUP) is the leading provider of this repertoire. The works of contemporary composers such as Bob Chilcott and John Rutter as well as historical compositions by Thomas Tallis and Ralph Vaughan Williams inspire German audiences.
In British choirs, on the other hand, there is increasing interest in modern Urtext editions of choral symphonic works by J. S. Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Brahms, for example - a core competence of Carus-Verlag.
Both publishing houses are thus counting on greater awareness and availability of their program for choirs and organists in the British Isles and Germany respectively. The cooperation starts immediately.
