Music Publishing   In addition to its activities as a record label, Just Accord Music controls the copyrights, as music publisher, to works by the British composer, William Busch (1901-1945). Admired by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Michael Tippett and Gerald Finzi, Busch was establishing a reputation as a composer of note when he died, in tragic circumstances, aged just 43. Some of Busch's songs were recorded in the 1960s by such fine singers as Janet Baker and Peter Pears. In September 2004, Just Accord Music published a volume of Selected Songs by William Busch, which is available from music shops in the UK or can be purchased direct from this website by clicking here to visit the Music Publishing page.
