Dance and ballet

Oxford's prestigious catalogue of house composers includes Vaughan Williams, Constant Lambert, and William Walton, all of whom played a major role in the creation of an English ballet tradition, alongside some of today's leading composers from the UK and around the world. Over the years the music of our house composers has attracted the attention of leading choreographers, resulting in some striking collaborations for the stage. On the following pages we've suggested five OUP composers whose music we think will be of particular interest to choreographers when creating new dance works. Just click on each composer to the left.

We also publish the music for arguably one of the most popular works in the ballet repertory, La fille mal gardee, with the music arranged by John Lanchbery whose arrangement of Lovenskjold's La Sylphide which also appears in the Oxford catalogue.

We offer a free consultancy service for any choreographers looking for the perfect music for their next dance project. We would be delighted to meet (by appointment) with any choreographer in our offices in London, Oxford, or New York to discuss collaborations with our composers and their music, and on request we can supply sampler CDs of the music we publish.
