OTHER NOTES
Founded in 1996 by three Catholic composers and musicians, The Music Makers is a publisher of new and original works of liturgical music, principally for the Roman Catholic liturgy. TMM’s aim is to add to the repertoire of quality church music, with the aim of creating new music that upholds the tradition of the Church (stemming from the Gregorian and polyphonic traditions) whilst keeping firmly in line with the guidelines set by the documents of Vatican II and subsequent documents. It is also our objective to produce music which is accessible to the amateur as well as professional choir. Schola Cantamus was founded in 1992 by Jeremy de Satgé as an occasional professional choir to sing at weddings, funerals and other church services as well as concerts and recordings.
