CORO Publishing Distributed by Graphite Publishing

With CORO Publishing, CORO has created an innovative way to encourage new choral publications to be written for the choral community. CORO Publishing actively seeks new and unpublished choral works of the highest level, as well as modern editions of earlier works. With new choral pieces, we focus mainly on octavos for unaccompanied chorus and chorus with piano or small instrumental ensembles. CORO Publishing also looks to the standard choral repertoire of the western canon and creates new editions in order to bring these compositions to a broader range of modern performers and audiences alike.

When working with a composer on a new composition, CORO Publishing is in a unique situation by being directly linked with the CORO Vocal Artists; from the beginning, a dialogue is opened between the composer and the conducting staff of CORO. This dialogue allows these new compositions to be rehearsed with the CORO Vocal Artists and fine tuned while in the final stage of composition. CORO Vocal Artists record these new publications for commercial distribution in audio and video formats and the octavo is then published through CORO Publishing. CORO Publishing actively searches for compositions that meet these requirements as well as establishing relationships with other publishing companies that would benefit from the collaborative nature of CORO.
