  The music of Dr Keith Wilkinson will now be more readily available

BrookWright Music has announced the immediate acquisition of four respected music publishing catalogues.

Alum Creek Music, Lincoln Castle Music, Black Squirrel Music, and Mostyn Music represent the work of the highly respected brass band arranger Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson.

All titles from these catalogues will be exclusively distributed by BrookWright Music.

Availability

For the first time, many works will be available as PDF downloads. Additionally, print editions will continue to be available through BrookWright's network of distributors.

Dr. Keith M. Wilkinson is recognised throughout the banding world as one of the foremost arrangers for the brass band medium. His extensive catalogue includes transcriptions of major classical works, iconic brass solos by the likes of Jean-Baptiste Arban, Herbert Clarke, and Arthur Pryor (many with piano accompaniment), as well as a celebrated series of Sousa march arrangements.

His work has been performed by ensembles around the world and has featured as test pieces at major brass band competitions.

Thrilled

BrookWright Music founder Andrew Wainwright told 4BR: "I'm thrilled to welcome Keith's impressive body of work into the BrookWright catalogue. His arrangements have become staples of the brass band repertoire and are widely respected.

We're particularly excited to offer these titles digitally for the first time, making them more accessible than ever."

Pleased

Speaking about the news, Dr. Keith Wilkinson added: "I've been arranging music for brass band for over 50 years, and I'm really pleased that many of these titles have been published.

I'm delighted that BrookWright Music will now bring them to a wider audience, building on a relationship of trust since they started publishing my music in 2020. Andrew and I have become great friends, and I look forward to what we can achieve together."
