Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can my choir really perform the music?

A: Yes. When you look at the Music page, you will find that each piece has been given a difficulty rating of easy, intermediate or advanced. The easy rating would be sight-readable by most choirs and choral societies; the intermediate level would be readily learnable and performable through a process of rehearsal; advanced is intended for chamber and professional choirs. 

Q: Can we perform this music in our concert?

A: Yes. Please contact me with the relevant information and you will receive an email reply with options regarding the performance.

Q: How long will my music take to arrive?

A: Your order for printed music will be dispatched from the printers just as soon as it is ready, which will normally be within a week. You should have received your scores within five to ten working days.

Q: What is in the price of a score? 

A: The price includes the cost of printed music you are buying. If you are ordering a set, the rights fee for the intended performance is also included in the price.

Q: Do I get a discount for ordering a set?

A: Yes a discount is possible if a sufficiently large order is placed to make the production of the scores more cost efficient.
