What Do Print Music Publishing Arrangers Do?Dave Olsen, VP of Business and Legal Affairs at Alfred Publishing, describes different kinds of arrangers and their relationship with publishing companies. Like most publishing companies, there are in-house arrangers on staff who work for Alfred Publishing on a full time basis. Their job is to transcribe recordings and create arrangements for a number of settings including piano, guitar, band, orchestra, etc. There are also independent arrangers who do arrangement projects for print music publishing companies on a freelance basis. Dave also shares the different kinds of deal structures that are used for independent arrangers and who is involved in those agreements.
