About Waterton Brass Music™
Waterton Brass Music™, a small independent publisher of high-quality music for brass ensembles, was established in 2007 by R. Kevin Paul with nine of his own arrangements.
Kevin has been involved in all aspects of brass ensemble life. He has performed
with them, founded them, directed them, conducted them, coached them,
adjudicated them, and arranged and composed music for them. WATERTON BRASS MUSIC™ LLC was formed in 2009 and is a member of the Music Publishers Association
of the United States. Our catalog has grown to include over 140 titles from 24 composers and arrangers. We honor the creativity and artistry of our contributors by paying the industry's highest royalty rates. We maintain an open call for submissions.
Our goal is to publish high-quality music for brass ensembles that is practical (no E-flat trumpet parts) and accessible both to the performers and their audiences - whether it be for concerts/recitals, weddings, religeous services, graduations, commercial engagements, or educational venues. You'll find arrangements and transcriptions of works spanning five centuries, as well as some well-crafted original New Music. We hope to contribute something meaningful to the brass ensemble repertoire and add something useful to your ensemble's library. Our catalog has something for ensembles at every level - from students, to professionals, and everyone in between.
All of our music is engraved and typeset in Sibelius® for visual clarity, and all of our publications have clearly-marked measure numbers and rehearsal letters. Our parts are laser-printed on the highest quality premium acid-free paper. We recycle all discarded paper, packing materials, ink and toner cartridges; and use only Energy Star branded equipment.
Waterton Brass Music™ publications are available from this website and Amazon®.com. We welcome international orders and school/institutional purchase orders.
