how to submit
The primary mission of Ars Nova Music is the archiving, publishing and promotion of its composer members and their music through our web page, our YouTube channel, music distributors and sponsored performances. As a not for profit, intellectual organization, we are not driven by commercial economic activity. Therefore, we have the freedom to provide artistic publishing and archiving services to qualified composers not available from entities whose focus is driven by commercial interests and economics.

tenets
COMPOSERS selected for membership are those who can support a common purpose: promoting musical creations that are satisfying listening experiences for audiences, as well as being intellectually stimulating. Works must serve the purpose of being a fulfilling experience that will communicate intellectually and emotionally, the composer's musical message to the listener.
This does not limit the composer from any experimentation with sounds and designs that may suit his or her fancy. However, it allows Ars Nova Press® to select the material it wishes to publish. The main goal of ARS NOVA PRESS® is the promotion of those composers who are willing to produce music that will satisfy both the emotional and intellectual listening aspects of audiences. And, serve as a reinforcement of music standards as a defense against pointless creativity in our waning culture. This task will be a goal of the gifted composers assembled as a group by Ars Nova Press®, who create, or are interested in creating within these guidelines and standards.
