The Music Sales Group is an international independent family of music publishing companies. We are major copyright holders in both popular and classical music. These copyrights are maintained by a network of wholly owned worldwide companies in the USA, the UK, Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, and Spain. Within the United States, the promotional and creative team in our Los Angeles office works closely with the copyright experts in our New York City office in order to best exploit our ever-growing catalog of exceptional music.
With hundreds of thousands of titles, Music Sales owns an impressive catalogue of songs spanning every genre of popular music. From the late Twenties to today’s chart hits, we control memorable standards, Broadway show tunes, Big Band greats, Rock & Roll, Jazz, Blues, Country, Disco, Rap and Hip-hop, Electronica, New Wave, Modern and Alternative Rock, Reggae, classic love songs, and much more.

A significant expansion into serious music began with the purchase in 1986 of G. Schirmer/Associated Music Publishers, America’s preeminent classical music publisher. Founded in 1861, G. Schirmer enjoys a reputation for championing the avant-garde as well as its rich catalogue of important traditional works. Schirmer also represents composers from other Music Sales companies worldwide, including Chester Music, Edition Wilhelm Hansen, Novello, and Unión Musical Ediciones. Please visit our Composers page and www.schirmer.com.
The mammoth G. Schirmer Rental Library is the largest facility of its kind in the world. We rent music to record, TV, and film companies; orchestras, opera, and ballet companies; and colleges and community groups.
Music Sales is also one of the foremost publishers of printed music, producing sheet music and folios for many of the top names in popular music, instructional and educational material, and illustrated and reference books about music and musical artists.
Music Sales is an ever-evolving resource, committed to nurturing and managing the incredible array of copyrights and artists in our catalogues. Our goal is to provide the finest service to every sector of the musical community. To the songwriters and composers we represent. To the creative teams within the film, television, and advertising industries. To the orchestras and schools who rent music from us. To the music dealers who retail our printed music. And to the countless musicians and music-lovers who enjoy our music every day.
