Wai-te-ata Music Press
Wai-te-ata Music Press is a centre of Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music, that publishes New Zealand sheet music, CDs and other music-related publications. Based at Victoria University of Wellington, the press was established by Douglas Lilburn in 1967 as a non-profit ‘composer facility’, which was intended to produce inexpensive editions of New Zealand music for performance and study.

The first score, published in 1967, was ''For Seven'' by Jenny McLeod, and was followed shortly by works by Larry Pruden, David Farquhar, John Ritchie, Ronald Tremain and Lilburn himself. The original covers were printed using an 1813 Stanhope printing press owned by Wai-te-ata Press, which had been established in 1962 by Professor Don McKenzie of the English ...
