Our catalog contains thousands of titles. We have new scores, performance sets, reprints of historical scores, solo parts, electronic files -- all available on request in print and digital delivery formats. Our printed materials use archival professional music papers and professional music binding. We also provide electronic files with audio and/or video components as necessary for performance.
Note: As a reproduction of historical artifacts, some of our music scores from the 1910s through ~1985 may contain errant marks or poor quality scan reproductions. Samples of pages can be requested for viewing prior to purchase. Scholars believe these works should be preserved and made generally available to the public. We appreciate your support in the preservation process and thank you for being an important part of keeping the ACA archives alive and relevant.
