The publisher is the representative in Germany of English composers such as Colin Mawby,[1] Christopher Tambling[2] and Robert Jones.

[3] The composer, organist, musicologist and pedagogue Josef Butz [de] founded the publishing house in Bad Godesberg in 1924,[4] first strictly for choral music.

Butz was successful until 1940 with his own compositions which were performed at Sängerbundwochen [de] and earned prizes from broadcasters.

When Josef Butz Jr died in 1999, he was succeeded by the musicologist and organist Hans-Peter Bähr.

In 2002, the complete organ catalogue of the Belgian publisher Éditions Chantraine was added, which includes the recorded improvisations by the organist at Notre Dame de Paris, Pierre Cochereau.
