GIA Publications, Inc. is a major publisher of hymnals, other sacred music, and music education materials. Headquartered first in Pittsburgh and now Chicago, GIA is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. GIA originally stood for Gregorian Institute of America, founded in 1941 by Clifford Bennett with a focus on Gregorian chant. The company has been owned since 1967 by the Harris family, who purchased the company after the previous owner retired in response to the decision of the Second Vatican Council to shift the liturgy from Latin to vernacular. GIA acquired choral music publisher Walton Music in 2013. GIA acquired music education publisher and sacred music competitor World Library Publications in 2020. Also in 2020, GIA acquired music education publisher Meredith Music from Hal Leonard. More information...
