Welcome to Red Frog Music

In 1991 the company named Nieuwe Lente was founded by Bram Hijmans (1932-1996) a composer, teacher and conductor. It was his intention to publish music especially for the amateur musician hard to categorize. He therefore wrote many new compositions and arrangements and constructed the flexible score with the part-score-books.

After his passing away the company was (at his request) continued by his colleague Marcel Baars. With his arrival the publications were standerized. Since oktober 1st. 1999 the name of the company has changed into Nieuwe Lente Muziekuitgaven/Red Frog Music, shortly named Red Frog Music. The name Red Frog Music, invented by Paul Min, the first two years the business partner of Marcel Baars, was chosen to create a more approachable name.

Red Frog Music cooperates extensively with Highland Music Productions from Almere - The Netherlands. Highland Music is a dealer address in The Netherlands for Youth Symfony orchestra, Fred Vogels Music Productions and with Bronsheim Muziekuitgaven from Brunssum - The Netherlands, a publisher for windband- and wind instruments music.
