About Us
Church Music on Demand is an online church music publisher that makes the music of Walter W. Schurr immediately available to anyone who has a computer and printer. It's not a way for you to order his music and get it in the mail. It's a way to have it in your choir's hands today.
Church Music on Demand was born of frustration. Dr. Schurr is an established composer who has had music published by various traditional music publishers since 1978. But as most composers know, publishers often don't publish your best compositions. They only publish whatever "fits their needs" for that year. And it's nearly impossible to determine what those needs are.
For years, Dr. Schurr wanted to publish his own music, but doing so required large amounts of capital. Now technology has caught up with his dream. The Internet, through "e-printing" or "on demand" publishing, provides a way to make his music available to a much wider audience far more cheaply than does traditional publishing. It's a simple concept. We sell you the pdf files, and you print the music, punch the paper, and put it in looseleaf binders for your choir. Need it for tonight's rehearsal? You can have it immediately. And with each purchase, you will receive a license to print and maintain the number of copies you pay for.
And so we welcome you to Church Music on Demand. This is our "maiden voyage," which brings you 29 Christmas music titles. Some are for choir and instruments, some are for organ, and some are for instruments alone. Please hang around a few minutes and enjoy listening to some great music.
