Music
Many friends of Wolfgang G. Haas: Paul Wisskirchen, Edward H. Tarr, Stanley Weiner, Bernhard Krol, Jiri Laburda and many more are very enthusiastic about making the works which they have
performed, composed and recorded available for a larger audience and their colleagues. In the beginning period over over 150 works
for trumpet and organ and 200 works for brass ensemble were put into print.
In the meantime more than 2000 publications have come out in almost all genres.
The publishing house is regularly represented at various exhibitions, competitions, events and the trade fair in Frankfurt.
Books
The book series "Kölner Musikbeiträge" and the series in English "Cologne Music Series" followed on. The first 3 volumes
by Albert Hiller "Trompetenmusiken aus 3 Jahrhunderten" (ca 1600- after 1900) were rapidly out of print. The English
version of this project "Trumpet Music from 3 Centuries" (English translation by Richard Lister) is regarded as a
standard work for music for natural trumpets with and without timpani. Contributions by the musicologists Eichborn, Edward H. Tarr, and
work catalogues by Stanley Weiner, Gerhard Deutschmann, Franz Möckl, Jiri Laburda i.a followed on. The series "Music today" and music
teaching aids round off this publication series.
CDs
The sound recording publications HaasClassicCologne followed. The main editions of the music programme are recorded in this series
on CD, CD-Rom and DVD by outstanding performers. The series "Pictures of an organ" and "Secrets of Music" are most popular.
The series are constantly enlarged.
