Brotons & Mercadal Edicions

Brotons & Mercadal Edicions is a Spanish music publishing house based in Catalonia. Since 2001 it has published, promoted and distributed classical and contemporary music worldwide, building a catalogue that ranges from sheet music and symphonic works to pedagogical material and books. The company describes itself as run by musicians, with an editorial policy centred on recovering forgotten works of the traditional Catalan and Spanish repertoire, discovering new contemporary voices, promoting women composers, and introducing texts by renowned authors. A defining feature of the house is its long-standing exclusive relationship with the Catalan composer and conductor Salvador Brotons, whose works have been published by B&M since 2001. The catalogue also includes works for orchestra, band, string orchestra, flute and piano, alongside Christmas music and educational publications. The publisher maintains an online shop and a blog, and its authors' music is performed at international events such as the World Music Competition in Kerkrade, the NFA Convention in Portland and concerts by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Brotons & Mercadal positions itself as a quality-focused, complementary and alternative publisher within the Spanish music scene, combining careful repertoire selection with worldwide distribution. Its output is aimed at performers, teachers, students and audiences interested in Catalan and contemporary concert music.

Brotons & Mercadal Edicions was founded in 2001 as a music publishing company with the aim of bringing a wide selection of classical and contemporary music to the music scene through publication, promotion and distribution worldwide. From the outset the company was run by musicians linked to different fields of music, who committed their knowledge and experience to the repertoire they represent. The publisher's editorial policy was shaped around several core goals: recovering forgotten works of the traditional Catalan repertoire and other Spanish areas; discovering and disseminating new values of contemporary music and promoting the work of women composers; incorporating works of prominent composers from other parts of Spain and other countries while maintaining quality standards; introducing texts by renowned authors and contemporary writers; and consolidating recognised Catalan composers by making them more universal. A central element of this policy has been the exclusive publication of works by Salvador Brotons since 2001. Over the years B&M has developed a catalogue that includes sheet music, symphonic and band works, string orchestra pieces, flute and piano music, pedagogical material, books and digital downloads. The company operates an online shop and a blog, and its publications are performed internationally, with events listed on its website including the World Music Competition in Kerkrade (Netherlands), the 54th Annual NFA Convention in Portland (Oregon), and performances by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Barcelona Symphonic Band. In 2026 the house published Salvador Brotons's Vents mediterranis (Mediterranean winds), a suite of eight pieces for string orchestra inspired by the traditional Catalan winds, composed in the summer of that year. The work exemplifies B&M's ongoing commitment to new Catalan repertoire and to the composer whose output it has exclusively represented since its founding.
