About Us

Founded in 1988 by Sylvia Glickman to promote and preserve the music of women composers of the past and present, the company has been described by Ms magazine as " ... shaping a music heritage for generations to come ...," and by Piano and Keyboard magazine as " ... in the vanguard of the women's music field ... its bold catalog contains unique reprints and first publications ... ."

The name of the company pays homage to Hildegard von Bingen, 11th Century composer, poet, author and mystic. The high quality of Hildegard's broad range of activities has assured her a prominent place in Western civilization many centuries later. The complete works of this remarkable composer are available from the Hildegard Publishing Company along with works by many other talented women composers from all centuries.

Search our catalog for piano, harpsichord, harp and organ, vocal and choral music, string, woodwind and brass chamber music, and orchestral music, and a beautiful art poster with information for nearly 400 composers.

Our catalog contains over 500 entries, and continues to grow.

Note: All wholesale orders for our music are handled by The Theodore Presser Company, Hildegard's exclusive world-wide distributor.
