Franco Alfano

Eliana (Suite romantica)

Franco was a composer whose name, though primarily known in opera circles, occupies a prominent place in the Italian late-Romantic tradition. Alfano’s background helped shape his music. He started his studies at the Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella in Naples and later went to Leipzig, where his teachers were Hans Sitt and Salomon Jadassohn. In Leipzig, he also met composer Edvard Grieg, whose music influenced him. After completing his studies, Alfano moved to Berlin in 1896, initially pursuing a career as a pianist, though he soon shifted his focus toward composition. …

Henry Eichheim

Oriental Impressions for Orchestra

Henry Eichheim was an American composer who took on many roles in the music world throughout his life including as a composer, conductor, violinist, organologist, and ethnomusicologist.

Herman Roelstraete

Sinfonia concertante for keyboard and string orchestra, op. 36 nr. 1 (New print /set score & 6 parts)

Herman Roelstraete received his first music training at the Torhout Normal School where he studied to become a liturgical organist. These studies sparked his lifelong interest in Gregorian chant, the organ and the Flemish Movement. In 1942 he went to the School for Religious Music (the ‘Lemmens Institute’) in Mechelen, where he had eminent teachers such as Henri Durieux (harmony), Marinus de Jong (piano and counterpoint), Flor Peeters (organ) and Jules Van Nuffel (choir conducting and music aesthetics).

Amethyst Edition goes Google Earth

Vesthold Psyklus

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had a magic musical lens that could zero in on very small areas of the music world, the way Google Earth is able to do with some street in the most remote village in the planet? You need wonder no longer.
Amethyst Edition has, again, broken new ground by doing precisely that with the publication of the ambitious Vestfold Psyklus.
Vestfold is a county in Southeast Norway with just over 253.000 inhabitants. Ensemble KammerKlang is a performing group founded in Vestfold in 2019. …

Back to the Origins and Toward the Unknown …

Repertoire & Opera Explorer, Music publisher of rare music scores. Its underlying idea was born from the experience that too many great works of music are unknown, forgotten, underrated and unperformed. Moreover, most of this neglected music has been commercially unavailable for a long time.

The work of Repertoire Explorer extends far beyond the needs of collectors. The series aims to change the world of music one step at a time. For this reason, we also produce first editions of neglected masterworks, that should have been published long ago. These are always accompanied by the complete set of performance material.

Every score is introduced with a scholarly preface (English, German), most of which are available online for preview. All this is made possible by a worldwide network of dedicated musicians, musicologists, and music-loving amateurs contributing in many different ways to the success of the series.

Let us know if there is a work that you’ve been searching for in vain. If it is in the public domain, and if there is a score (and perhaps parts) in acceptable condition, we can usually publish it and make it available quite quickly. If it is still under copyright protection, you may be able to help us negotiate with the rightsholders. Some publishers such as Universal Edition in Vienna have agreed to collaborate with us on a broad basis. It is our hope that such examples will inspire others to join us in promoting great music that will otherwise never enter the repertoire.

Look through our catalogue and be inspired.

Call for preface writers and translators

All our scores are introduced with a scholarly preface in English and German. These are typically written by musicians, musicologists and music lovers from all over the world in support of our main endeavour, namely to publish unknown, forgotten, underrated and unperformed great musical works that have been commercially unavailable for many years.

We are now looking to expand our network. Please contact us if you are interested in writing or translating the preface for one of the following titles:
