This and many succeeding works were issued from his home which led to the foundation of the company. However, his son, Joseph Alfred Novello was largely responsible for the evolvement of Novello & Company into a major publisher, leading the introduction and availability of cheap sheet music, a major departation from the method of the day, publishing by subscription.Studio Music is the exclusive world print license distributor for Novello Band publications.
