OCMP was set up by Fergus and Carmen O'Carroll in order to preserve music written by Irish composers, music that would otherwise have remained in just a few Irish band libraries. As such, the output is very specialised and very small although it is growing slowly. A development of this activity is that OCMP Ireland has become a major player in music typesetting and score and parts preparation in Ireland.
