Who We Are - Our History and Purpose
Adoration Publishing is a sacred music publishing company founded in 1980 by Larry D. Ellis in Denver, Colorado. Our musical publications are intended for use in Christian worship. We publish choral, organ and congregational music as well as a number of specialty pieces, that can be helpful within many types of worship experiences. Many of our works are setting of either classical hymnology to new tunes or scripture set to music. We have many short pieces that can be used as calls to prayer, worship and musical benedictions. Since the largest choir in our churches is the congregation, we also fill an important need to help the church organist lead inspirational congregational praise using new tunes, choral descants and codas and alternative harmonies for well know outstanding hymns along with joyful introductions and appropriate key changes. We are pleased to offer an expanding catalogue of quality singable choral music. We are continually seeking new compositions to publish that will bring new quality music to the Christian community. Our music tends to be classical in style and exciting to sing and hear. Our music can broaden the musical tradition in both liturgical and evangelical worship traditions.
For many years we had manuscripts engraved and had the octavos printed in the traditional manner. We promoted by occasional workshops or reading sessions as well as enjoyed promotion provided by our published composers. We also relied heavily on word of mouth for interest in our publications.
We have dramatically changed our philosophy to be much more accessible to our customers by using the benefits of the Internet for both promotion as well as distribution of our music. Now you can review our music scores using a free plug-in to your Internet browser as well as listen to music on-line. This will help you decide whether or not you wish to purchase your copies of the music for you, your church or your school. When you purchase copes, delivery is now instantaneous via the web. You print one copy directly from our web site and then you make additional photocopies of the music in accordance with the Adoration Publishing Company music licensing agreement which is immediately emailed to you upon each music purchase. There is no shipping delay or shipping costs. Music is now available anywhere the Internet is accessible. In order to learn about this new technology and how to purchase music from us click here. Once you have installed the plug-in, we invite you to browse through our complete musical catalogue, singing along with the midi-files being played.
