Boosey & Hawkes

London music publishers and instrument makers. They were originally two companies: Boosey, founded in 1816 as British agents for Rossini, Hummel, Mercadante, and others, and also manufacturing wind instruments from about 1850; and Hawkes, founded in 1865, handling brass and military band music. They merged in 1930.

Their catalogue includes many 20th-century composers, for example Richard Strauss, Sergey Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, Béla Bartók, Gustav Mahler, and Benjamin Britten. Contemporary composers include Elliott Carter, Leonard Bernstein, Steve Reich, György Kurtág, Robin Holloway, and Peter Maxwell Davies.
