Paul Ayres - editions

This is an offshoot from the catalogue of my own compositions and arrangements (http://www.paulayres.co.uk/catalogue).
As a choir director, I often have found it difficult to get hold of reasonably-priced copies of choir music, and have, for speed and convenience, made my own editions. I'm happy to offer them to other choral groups, for a small consideration. As with my own music, all of these editions are guaranteed free of misprints (or your money back!). They are also, as much as possible, free from editorial interference, to help performers make their own decisions about dynamics, breathing, phrasing, and the like. A master copy of each edition is available, from which a choir may make up to 100 photocopies for their own use. Prices are based on how many pages are in the score:
1-2 pages: £10 or US$20
3-5 pages: £15 or US$30
6-10 pages: £20 or US$40
Master score will be sent as a PDF, with your choir's name printed on the first page
There are no hidden charges for tax or performance/recording 'rights'!
