FAQ
Can you publish the score to [insert title here]? Can I suggest a title?
Neumation is open to suggestions! We will announce all of our releases on our website as soon as they become available for purchase. We also announce upcoming titles in our newsletter and on social media, which we encourage you to follow. If you would like to suggest a title or would like more information about what we are working on, please email us at: info@neumation-music.com.
Some scores are lost or logistically difficult, but almost anything is possible.
How do you decide which scores to publish?
Much like the Criterion Collection, Neumation Music aims to reflect the breadth of scoring. We are not snobby about the music we think is appropriate for publication. Big Hollywood scores, small ensemble music for television, or B-movie horror scores all have qualities worthy of study. What we do require is that the title is exemplary of its kind. The music must be representative of the composer's work
Are the composers involved with your books?
We inform composers or their estate of our plan to publish a score. We will not publish music that a composer has requested we not release. As we want our books to properly represent the composer's work and legacy, we welcome as much collaboration as their schedules and interest allow.
Will your books be available digitally?
Our complete score books will only be available as bound paper books. We will have a series of scores excerpts and suites that will be available digitally.
Why is your book not available for purchase in my country?
The print rights for a score may be controlled by several separate companies for different regions of the world. When this is the case, worldwide licensing may be cost prohibitive, logistically difficult, or extremely slow to secure. We do what we can to make the books available to as many people around the globe as possible. If a particular book does not ship to your country, it may become available at a later date.
