Schmidt Company in 1960.[2] In 1969 it acquired McLaughlin & Reilly, a Boston publisher of Catholic music founded in 1903.[1]
It relocated from Evanston, Illinois to Princeton, New Jersey and became Birchtree Music Group. In 1988 it was acquired by Warner-Chappell.[3]
Its publishings include books for piano teachers and choral directors.[4]
