2026 LPM catalogue.
London Pro Musica Edition now has the largest list of Renaissance and Early Baroque music in practical editions that can be found anywhere in the world.
Most of the music in our catalogue is secular music from about 1450-1650. A substantial proportion is purely instrumental music, and works are generally chosen that are suitable for several types of Renaissance instruments — practically all works are suitable for re- corders, for instance. Our list is particularly strong in dance music: our Early Dance Music is getting quite close to one of its main aims, that of publishing all the worthwhile Renais- sance polyphonic dance music.
One of our most innovative projects is the Ricercate e Passaggi series, which is bringing together most of the material from the late Renaissance books of diminutions (divisions). There is no better way of learning how to improvise divisions in a convincing style than by working through this series.
Our A due cori series focuses on polychoral music (not necessarily Italian) from the late Renaissance. The series will include all the worthwhile instrumental pieces of this type (excluding the Gabrielis, who now have their own series), together with selected vocal pieces. So far more than 120 titles have been printed.
If you are not familiar with our editions, you will find them generously supplied with necessary background information: our edition of the Susato Danserye is the only one to come with a commentary that tells you about the tunes and points you to other versions.
Although some scholarship goes into our editions, they are planned very much from the practical point of view. Particular attention is paid to the layout, so as to avoid the awk- ward turnovers that make so many editions of early music difficult to use.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
In the old days, music publications were fixed objects. This is no longer the case. Almost all our titles can now be printed in-house, so we can be flexible. If you want an unusual number of parts or scores we can supply them quickly.
The easiest way to buy LPM publications…
is via the Zefiro website (www.edition-zefiro.com), where you can see the first page of every publication. If you prefer the old-fashioned way you are welcome to email or telephone us. In the UK we do not normally sell LPM publications through dealers, apart from the Early Music Shop.
