I am very proud to announce that I am now affiliated as a composer with the American
Composers Alliance (ACA):
https://www.composers.com/composers/aaron-larget-caplan
My first collection of compositions, honey cadence, are officially published today and available worldwide!
Purchase the physical score through the ACA or on my Bandcamp page HERE. PDFs of the scores area also available HERE.
Based in NYC, the ACA is a nonprofit composer service organization dedicated to the publishing and promoting of American contemporary classical music through concerts, grants, collaborations, and recordings.
Founded in 1937 by Aaron Copland, I am humbled to join this historic organization with its powerful and inclusive vision, and to be affiliated with such a truly fantastic group of composers, a few of whom I am honored to have forged friendships with through music. Learn more about the ACA.
I was introduced to the organization in 2015 by Thomas L. Read. I have since had the pleasure of working as a performer, grant recipient, and curator with their fearless director Gina Genova.
In 2020 and 2021 the ACA co-published two volumes of scores by 30 composers from my New Lullaby Project in the anthologies: Nights Transfigured and Hushed. The first winning multiple Revere Publishing Awards.
The first collection of my own compositions: honey cadence – six meditations for guitar solo are available today! Gratitude to Simon Berry for his excellent work and patience in bringing this publication to life.
The collection, recorded on the honey cadence album has earned over 3-million streams since its release by Tiger Turn in April 2022.

Thank you Aaron for all of your advocacy for composers – I don’t know why Wikipedia says Adolphus was a founder of ACA. It’s possible. The list I see from 1941 has other names, including Varese, Colin McPhee, Elliott Carter, Otto Luening, and the only woman – Marion Bauer, among other names.

Thank you Gina. I edited the post to reflect your comment. I will add the amazing image you posted online as well of the members. Wow!
