Distributed by Graphite Publishing
VocalEssence Music Press is a dynamic music publishing company that offers a select group of emerging composers the opportunity to make their music available to choirs everywhere. And we offer choruses access to new music they can’t find anywhere else.
Our mission is to help choruses, conductors and composers connect in meaningful ways by publishing exciting new music for singers at all levels.
Discover cross-cultural collaboration through the VocalEssence ¡Cantaré! Series. Mexican composers wrote these works for Minnesota school, college and community choruses to sing. Even young children can master the challenge of singing in Spanish and the indigenous languages of Mexico. Get value-added with our free Music Resource Guides that are designed for conductors, teachers and students to use to learn more about the cultural context of the compositions.
VocalEssence Music Press is a subsidiary of VocalEssence, a leading arts organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
