Mark and Pat Goddard are thrilled to announce the birth of a new music publishing company: Clifton Edition Limited.
Dedicated to rescuing important titles made unavailable by the demise of Spartan Press, distribution will commence in May this year thanks to our friends Stainer and Bell.
All titles will be immaculately re-engraved in traditional concert size, (9“ x 12“) and printed to the highest standards by celebrated music specialist printers Halstans or Caligraving.
We have been humbled by overwhelming support from a wide range of music industry stalwarts and have planned an urgent and ambitious reprint schedule. We already have commitments from many of the major composers of the old Spartan empire including Alan Bullard, Mark Tanner, Bryan Kelly, Rob Hall, Richard Wade and others.
The new website CliftonEdition.com will present our reprint schedule as it unfolds. Rome wasn’t built in a day and it’ll take some time and a lot of investment, but I feel exited to be back in the game again after a five year “hoax retirement”!
