Submission Policies THE BASICS
-
Email: all submissions must be submitted in Sibelius or Finale format; handwritten manuscripts are not accepted.
- Also include a PDF of the Finale or Sibelius file AND a recording. If a recording is not available, please create a midi.
-
While a recording is not required, there is no question that a performance of your piece gives a much more realistic example of your composition and the chances of publication are greatly increased.
- Submit no more than three pieces at a time.
-
Manuscripts longer than 8 minutes in duration submitted from composers not already in our catalog will not be accepted for review.
-
A short introduction of yourself and your musical experience is encouraged.
- Do not submit any pieces to more than one publisher at a time - no simultaneous submissions accepted.
- Pavane Publishing is a choral music publisher and does not accept instrumental pieces.
DETAILS
-
Sacred Music: Our catalog caters to the more traditional houses of worship.
-
Secular (Original or Arrangements): We are more likely to be interested if the arrangement is distinctive, new, creative, and the original song does not already appear in our catalog.
-
If using a published (copyrighted) poem, include a copy of the original poem, data about the poet, and any royalty agreements you may have reached prior to submission.
-
Foreign language texts (yes, even Latin) must have a pronunciation, transliteration, paraphrase and translation attached.
-
Submissions are reviewed by our New Release Committee only once a year - in the month of May. Therefore, the deadline for submissions is April 26th. Manuscripts received after April 26th will be held for the following year's review.
-
The review process takes several weeks. Please be advised that it could be as late as the end of June before you will hear a decision regarding your submission(s).
