About

The Broude Trust for the Publication of Musicological Editions was founded in 1983 for the publication of historical scores and scholarly musical editions. Rights to the Broude Trust catalogue were gifted to the American Musicological Society (AMS) in 2023. The Trust was dissolved at that time, and as a condition of the gift, the AMS agreed to make the bulk of Broude Trust titles freely available in digital form to AMS members. (The small number of titles which are not made freely available to members are those which have some measure of commercial viability. The AMS continues to sell these titles or to generate royalties via subcontracting agreements.)

Accessing Broude Titles: AMS members interested in accessing digital versions of Broude Trust volumes should log into the AMS website and click on the Dashboard link at the top of the page. From there, members may access their profile page and various members-only resources, including the Broude Trust digital catalogue.

History

Founded in 1983 by Ronald Broude, the Broude Trust for the Publication of Musicological Editions was conceived as a vehicle for publishing historical scores of interest to scholars and performers, but devoid of significant commercial appeal. Specifically, the Trust was created to publish music from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, including the work of understudied or underperformed composers and communities.

To do this work, the Trust engaged subject editors who were willing to invest time and effort beyond that normally expected in editorial projects and those editors were encouraged to apply innovative and rigorous methodologies. For example, Trust editors  made extensive use of versioning in the Art of the Keyboard series; negotiated the problems of divided authority in volumes of the Gilbert & Sullivan editions; and combined the authentic appearance of facsimiles with the editorial reliability of critical editions in the Critical Facsimiles collection. The result of this approach is a collection of authoritative historical scores and critical editions of exceptional quality and fidelity.

The full Broude Trust catalogue was gifted to the American Musicological Society in 2023 on the conditions that 1) digital copies of Broude Trust volumes would be made freely available to AMS members and 2) that no new titles would be commissioned bearing the Broude Trust imprint. Thus, the titles, already published or in preparation, which are listed below, represent the full and conclusive roster of Broude Trust titles.
