La mà de Guido

La mà de Guido is a Catalan music publishing house in Barcelona Spain founded in 1986 by the composer and musicologist Llorenç Balsach (b. 1953).^[1]

The name La Mà de Guido comes from the Catalan translation of the Guidonian hand.^[2]

The primary notability of La Mà de Guido is in the publishing of music scores and editions for Catalan composers, living and dead.^[3][4] The music publishing house also owns a recording label, again primarily reviving the works of Catalan composers, but also recordings by Catalan musicians of other Iberian music, and archive historical recordings.^[5][6] The label also distributes the Ars Harmonica label.
