Bringing concert music by women composers to the attention of performers and audiences has been the mission of Arsis Press since 1974. Arsis means 'upbeat' in Italian, and is the preparatory movement of a conductor's baton.

In recognition of this historic role, the archives of Arsis Press are housed in the Music Division of the Library of Congress.
