Anyone may commission Matthew McConnell !

If you’d like to commission a piece, please send an e-mail to commission@matthewmcconnell.net and the composer will contact you to discuss everything, including the commission fee, in greater detail.

Not sure what you want? Below are various instrumental combinations you might consider:

• Work for any solo instrument, or voice with piano accompaniment
  
• Work for two instruments or voices (duet)
• Work for three instruments or voices (trio)
  
• Work for four instruments (quartet)
  
• Work for five instruments (quintet)
• Work for chamber choir or full choir
  
• Work for chamber orchestra
  
• Work for full orchestra
• Opera (oftentimes this necessitates working with a librettist)

Obviously this list cannot even begin to cover every possible instrumental combination, but it might give you some ideas!

*Please keep in mind, however, that the commissioner does not have exclusive rights to the commissioned music. The composer retains the copyright, the right to perform this work with other ensembles, and any royalties collected through ASCAP or other performing rights societies. The composer also retains the right to publish and/or record this work subsequently. If published, the published work will state who commissioned the work. Also, remember that commissioning a work does not mean that the composer will see to it that the work receives a performance; it is up to the commissioner to take care of the performance details, including choice of performers and performance location. Whether a commissioned work is performed or not, the composer must still be paid.
