Emily Crocker Music

 New Crocker titles on PML It's always exciting to see the new PML additions each year. So much goes into the process, from the submissions by publishers and teachers, to AMAZING work by the committee, to the programming by UIL, the announcements, and finally, the concert performances by mixed, treble and tenor bass ensembles. I'm pleased to announce several new works of mine or my series have been added and I hope that you'll consider them in selecting your UIL programs.

Perhaps I have finally acclimated to this stage of life, post-9-to-5 and post choir directing, or maybe I’ve just allowed myself to explore what was always waiting for me. My WHAT'S NEW  page lists everything that is new so feel free to poke about there, but I thought I would put down some thoughts regarding the new directions you may see among these new releases. HAL LEONARD After spending 28 years at the Mother Ship in Milwaukee, I wanted to start with my new Hal Leonard titles. We’re all super excited that Hal Leonard  and Musescore  have joined together for even more distribution opportunities. If you are a Musescore subscriber (and you should be), you’ll already find these titles published there officially and legally for downloading, printing and sharing. These are also available through your favorite traditional retailers as well.  Au Pas, Camarad...
