Welcome!

This blog advertised in the Twin Cities AGO Pipenotes is your opportunity to get some fresh “new” gently used music for your choir at a cheap price, and is my opportunity to clean out our music closet and share some pieces we simply haven’t used in a while. If this has peaked your interest, keep reading down this page for the details and music list.

My name is Joseph Clarke, and I have setup this blog as a way to share some of the music my church is no longer using. As church music budgets are very tight these days, I wanted to find a way to share some of our extra music with other music directors, choir directors and organists in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area.

As far as the details go, I’m hoping to clear out all of this music on a “no reasonable offers refused” basis. So, you decide what you would like to have and make me an offer. In general when I look at used music, I consider about a third of list price a good deal. That being said, I will entertain all sincere offers.

The best way to contact me is by email at jclarke527@q.com. You may also call me at (763) 226-8737. After I hear from you, we can figure out the details of payment and how to get the music to you. I live in Blaine and work in Bloomington, so we could arrange a mutual time to meet, or I could even ship the music by media rate.

Music List

Below is a list of all the pieces ordered by season/usage.

I have an Excel spreadsheet that I can send you with more details than I had room to include below. This spreadsheet includes the resources required (vocal and instrumentation), composer/arranger, number of copies, original list price (To give you an idea of what the music cost when new. Like I mentioned in the post above, I will entertain all sincere offers).

If you would like to review this spreadsheet, email me at jclarke527@q.com and I will send it to you. If you don’t have Excel, just let me know and I can send you a .pdf file.
