Lengnick - UMPC acquires major British collection

As from 1st July, Universal Music Publishing Classical (UMPC) has taken over the hire library of one of the most important catalogues of British classical music: the repertoire of the publisher Alfred Lengnick & Co., including works of important composers such as William Alwyn, Malcolm Arnold and Alun Hoddinott. The Lengnick publishing house was originally founded in 1893 in London. It started business as the publishing agent for works of Brahms, Chopin and Dvořák, among others. From the 1930’s on, Lengnick built up its own repertoire of British composers, and was a leading publisher of contemporary British music through the remainder of the 20th Century.
