The Cantiones press was founded in 1996 to provide attractive and
authoritative editions of Renaissance choral music. The majority of
works in their catalogue have either not previously been published
at all, or cannot be obtained in formats which are financially
viable for choirs and consorts. Each work is presented in a clear,
uncluttered style, along with an introduction which gives valuable
background to the music and a guide to the editorial processes by
which the edition has been shaped. Their publications are therefore
welcomed both by professional and amateur groups; by those with a
specialist interest in the repertoire, and those who simply want to
investigate exciting and intriguing new areas of choral music.
