Founded in partnership with B. Roudanez, Senart ran the firm alone from 1912 to 1920, when Albert Neuburger came on board.
The firm was renamed Société Anonyme des Editions Maurice Senart.
The firm's catalog was sold to Editions Salabert in 1941, which continued to issue its holdings under the series Collection Maurice Senart.
The firm was important in the publication of works by many modernist composers in the 1920s including Cras, Casella, Delannoy, Koechlin, Malipiero, Milhaud, and Spalding.
The firm published some of the earliest modern editions of Renaissance vocal music by Antoine Brumel,[2] Goudimel, Janequin, Mouton, and Lassus.
