Boosey & Hawkes is a British music publisher purported to be the largest specialist classical music publisher in the world. Until 2003, it was also a major manufacturer of brass, string and woodwind musical instruments.
Formed in 1930 through the merger of two well-established British music businesses, the company owns the copyrights or agencies to much major, 20th-century music, including works by Bartók, Leonard Bernstein, Britten, Copland, Kodály, Prokofiev, Richard Strauss and Stravinsky. It also publishes many prominent contemporary composers, including Steve Reich, John Adams, James MacMillan, Elliott Carter, Harrison Birtwistle, Osvaldo Golijov, Anna Clyne, and Louis Andriessen.
