Our Mission
Ars Nova Press®, is a venture intended to bring the best composers and their music to the forefront in today's world of music, and to make their compositions available to the world at large. Ars Nova Press acts as a reprint service to reissue works that have gone out-of-print and will release new compositions that composers are interested in submitting for publication consideration.
Ars Nova Press has a special mission: the promotion of quality music literature that has not found publication acceptance elsewhere. It is a not-for-profit company dedicated to quality rather than commercial considerations; a company dedicated to music as an art.
Our mission is not only to act as a heritage preservation society through the reintroduction of out-of-print works, but to introduce and promote works that would otherwise be unavailable to the public at large through this website, publication, performances, and recordings.

Online Archive
Ars Nova Press serves as an archive of compositions for future generations, preserving and making available to the public the finest traditions of our musical culture. It concerns itself with the rescue of fine music that would otherwise disappear into oblivion. It will achieve a public benefit through the music the composers have created and the preservation of the heritage their works are establishing.
Membership
Membership is open to all interested composers whose music meets the standards determined by the Editorial Selection Committee (a peer-review panel, appointed by the Board of Ars Nova Press). Submitting manuscripts for consideration for membership may be initiated by invitation of the board, by recommendation of group members, or by a composer interested in being a candidate. Nominations for posthumous membership may be made by any interested parties. Music manuscripts submitted for deceased composers shall be examined by the Editorial Selection Committee subject to those standards applied to living composers' creations.
Composers selected for membership are those who can support a common purpose: promoting creative works that can be satisfying listening experiences for audiences as well as being intellectually stimulating. It must serve the purpose of being a fulfilling experience that will communicate 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 does allow Ars Nova Press to carefully select the material it publishes.
