NEW WEBSITE NOW OPERATIONAL!
www.musicpublishersofamerica.com

August 13, 2014 –

Music Publishers of America, LLC (“MPA”) is pleased to announce that our new website is now fully operational. Over the past several months, we have been working with one of the best web designers in the country to build a site that will offer more opportunities to learn about our company and, most important, to expand our musical offerings to customers.

The current core of MPA’s business is the Vitak-Elsnic collection of ethnic music. A major attraction of our new site is the immediate access we can provide to hundreds of different selections. Customers now will be able to purchase and instantly download:

  • Individual charts for concert band
  • Individual charts for small band or orchestra
  • Popular folios for small band, including the
    Whoopee John Band Book, Little German Band Book and
    Vitak-Elsnic Polka Book, plus band folios featuring Polish
    and Bohemian selections
  • Accordion solo sheet music and folios
  • Piano (keyboard) solo sheet music and folios

We are particularly proud of instant download capability being added for the first time for dozens of individual arrangements of Vitak-Elsnic classics by Ernie Broeniman, founder and artistic director of Dorf Kapelle, described by Alex Meixner as “one of the best blaskapelles in the USA.” We’ve also made available for instant download for the first time ever dozens of selections of sheet music and folios for piano.

In addition, customers can search listings of hard-to-find music in our archives, which we can retrieve upon request. We also provide information for composers and arrangers to contact us about adding their musical works to our ever-expanding portfolio.

These are just some of the highlights of the new MPA website. As we’ve worked through design of the site, our two primary objectives have been to provide as much music as possible available for instant download and to make the online shopping experience an easy one for customers. Go to www.musicpublishersofamerica.com and see what you think. We believe you’ll like what you find. Oh, and don’t forget to shop while you’re exploring the site. See how easy the whole experience now is.
