About TRN Located in the Rocky Mountains of southern New Mexico, TRN Music Publisher, Inc has been dedicated to publishing fine Band and Orchestra music since 1973. TRN is perhaps more known for its European Marches, and more difficult and lengthy works, but is steadily publishing more and more young band and orchestra pieces. TRN's Music challenges not only advanced groups, but provides motivational music for young ensembles as well. History of TRN TRN Music Publisher, Inc, located in the Rocky Mountains of southern New Mexico, was founded by Charles A. "Pete" Wiley, who served as the Editor and Publisher from 1973 until 1992, supported in every way by his loving wife Mary Jane Wiley. Towards the end of a distinguished career, 31 years of which were as Director of Bands at Lamar University, Dr. Wiley began TRN by publishing one piece, Antonito, which he wrote in the car on a trip with his wife. In 1983, as he retired from band directing, Dr. Wiley wrote his philosophy about music publishing, which had been his life-long dream: Through my family I was immersed in a life of bands, band music, and band directors. I grew up believing that band directors were the salt of the earth. I still do! My dad and uncle ( D.O. Wiley and Russell Wiley ) were both fine violinists, so I have an equal love and respect for those in the orchestra world, and since Caruso and Galli-Curci were among my dad's idols, I learned to love and appreciate our vocalists as well. So it is among my ambitions to include orchestral and choral works in the TRN catalogue to allow me a closer association with these fine folks, and possibly to make some small contribution to their literature as well.
