** BROOKWRIGHT ACQUIRES PUBLISHING COMPANIES **
BrookWright Music is delighted to announce the acquisition of four respected music publishing catalogues: ALUM CREEK MUSIC, LINCOLN CASTLE MUSIC, BLACK SQUIRREL MUSIC, and MOSTYN MUSIC. These catalogues collectively represent decades of work by esteemed brass band arranger Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson.
Alum Creek Music was founded in 2008, with Lincoln Castle Music joining its portfolio in 2016. Effective immediately, all titles from these catalogues will be exclusively distributed by BrookWright Music. For the first time, many of these works will be available as PDF downloads. Additionally, print editions will continue to be available through BrookWright’s network of distributors.
Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson is internationally recognised as one of the foremost arrangers for brass band. His extensive catalogue includes transcriptions of major classical works, iconic brass solos by Jean-Baptiste Arban, Herbert Clarke, and Arthur Pryor (many with piano accompaniment), as well as a celebrated series of Sousa march arrangements. His work has been performed by ensembles around the world and has featured as test pieces at major brass band competitions.
Commenting on the acquisition, BrookWright Music founder Andrew Wainwright said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Keith’s impressive body of work into the BrookWright catalogue. His arrangements have become staples of the brass band repertoire and are widely respected across the international brass band community. We're particularly excited to offer these titles digitally for the first time, making them more accessible than ever.”
Dr. Wilkinson added:
“I've been arranging music for brass band for 50 years or more and I'm really pleased that, over those years, many of these titles have been published. I’m delighted that BrookWright Music will now bring them to a wider audience, and have built a trust with them since they started publishing my music in 2020. Andrew Wainwright and I have become great friends since his arrival in the U.S., and I look forward to what we can achieve together.”
A selection of titles is already available at www.brookwrightmusic.com, with additional works to be released in the coming weeks and months.
