Ordering Scores: Print, and Digital


All prices are in U.S. dollars.



FOR DISTRIBUTORS AND LIBRARIES:


All titles are available with a dealer discount.
To place an order,
please email Activist Music LLC.



FOR INDIVIDUALS:

All scores are available digitally as .pdf files.
Most smaller ensemble scores are 30%
of the cost of the printed materials.




Activist Music encourages individual buyers (not distributors or libraries) to select the PDF option for digital scores and parts, so that you will be guaranteed to receive the materials promptly. This is especially true for orders coming from outside the United States, and will allow international clients to avoid high postal charges.

 

 

FOR DIGITAL ORDERS OF .PDF FILES
AND AUDIO DOWNLOADS:


You will receive an email from PayPal confirming your order and payment. In most cases, within 24 hours you will receive a follow-up email, containing the link to a private download page and access password for your purchase.



If you do not receive a link within 48 hours, PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER, because it has been scientifically proven that internet email gnomes do not appreciate new music and do their best to hide it from those wishing to perpetrate such musical crimes.



On rare occasions these email gnomes also fling legitimate orders into the Activist Music spam folder, so please send a friendly email to follow up if a digital order has not been received in 48 hours, or if a print order has not been charmingly confirmed via an email from Alex Shapiro or someone at Activist Music within 48 hours.
