Music

Oxford University Press is the world's largest university press. Oxford publishes 3,000 new titles a year and has a presence in more than fifty countries around the globe. It has become familiar to millions through a diverse publishing program that includes scholarly works and reference volumes in all disciplines.

Since 1923, Oxford has also been a leading publisher of concert, educational and sacred music. The Music Department develops and publishes music both in New York and in Oxford, and markets its publications throughout the world. The list includes music by award-winning contemporary composers; an enormous range of choral repertoire from the early Renaissance to the 21st century; operas, ballets, and other stage works; orchestral music; and solos, ensembles, and teaching materials for all instruments and for performers at every level.

Oxford's book publishing program produces a large catalog of award-winning books about music for academics, professionals, students, and the general reader. With its status as possibly the most prominent university press, Oxford is dedicated to disseminating top-level scholarly work.

Oxford also publishes the most respected and scholarly music journals in the world. The range of titles are Early Music, Journal of the Royal Musical Association, Music and Letters, The Musical Quarterly, and The Opera Quarterly.

In February 2003, Oxford acquired the Grove Dictionaries of Music publishing program, featuring the world-renowned New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and its web-based counterpart, Grove Music Online. At OUP, the Grove name will continue to represent the highest levels of music scholarship for reference and general audiences.
