About UYMP

University of York Music Press - known as UYMP - was founded in 1995 by David Blake with Bill Colleran to publish and promote new and established composers with a range of aesthetic backgrounds. UYMP's catalogue represents this diversity with voices such as Sadie Harrison, Ed Hughes and Luís Tinoco, and the recent work of David Blake, Hilda Paredes, Jo Kondo and Robert Saxton. UYMP is also proud to publish the music of Elisabeth Lutyens and David Lumsdaine.

UYMP also publishes the work of 26 Associate Composers and is currently developing a new programme of support and professional development, the Early Career Composers Cooperative.

UYMP is pioneering a series of novel educational resources for teachers and students at the primary, secondary and tertiary level. On Track, its series for GCSE Music offering students 13 new ensemble works, is endorsed by Edexcel examining board. Pianthology comprises seven contemporary piano works which can serve as an excellent introduction to new music for the piano for university and conservatoire level students, or any dedicated player looking to broaden their range.

UYMP's music is available for purchase from musicroom.com and to hire through contacting one of our international hire agents.
