Our Submissions Policies
The Basics
• All submissions must be submitted in Sibelius or Finale format; handwritten manuscripts are not accepted.
• Also include a PDF of the Finale or Sibelius file AND a recording. If a recording is not available, please create a midi.
• While a recording is not required, there is no question that a performance of your piece gives a much more realistic example of your composition and the chances of publication are greatly increased.
• Submit no more than three pieces at a time.
• Manuscripts longer than 8 minutes in duration submitted from composers not already in our catalog will not be accepted for review.
• A short introduction of yourself and your musical experience is encouraged.
Do not submit any pieces to more than one publisher at a time – no simultaneous submissions accepted.
• Pavane Publishing is a choral music publisher and does not accept instrumental pieces.

The Details
• Sacred Music: Our catalog caters to the more traditional houses of worship.
• Secular (Original or Arrangements): We are more likely to be interested if the arrangement is distinctive, new, creative, and the original song does not already appear in our catalog.
• If using a published (copyrighted) poem, include a copy of the original poem, data about the poet, and any royalty agreements you may have reached prior to submission.
• Foreign language texts (yes, even Latin) must have a pronunciation, transliteration, paraphrase and translation attached.
• Submissions are reviewed by our New Release Committee only once a year – in the month of March. Therefore, the deadline for submissions is February 28. Manuscripts received after March 1st will be held for the following year’s review.
• The review process takes several weeks. Please be advised that it could be as late as the end of June before you will hear a decision regarding your submission(s).
