Among its flagship offerings are the church music handbook Helligdagens Musik, which provides music suggestions and text entries for the church year's holy days, and major anthologies such as Danske orgelkoraler (2015), Når dagen hælder (2020) and Alle tiders orgelmusik (2022). The publisher also offers practical collections like Spil sammen (28 classical pieces for solo instrument and organ), Flere Forgreninger (20 choral pieces), Folkemusik til Hverdag og Fest (Danish folk music for organ) and Ledsagesatser (alternative harmonisations for 100 hymns from Den Danske Salmebog). In 2024, founder Lasse Toft Eriksen received the Frobenius Foundation's Grand Prize of DKK 250,000 for his engagement in church music, specifically recognising his impressive efforts with sheet music publications of organ and choral music through Forlaget Mixtur, benefiting church music throughout Denmark and beyond its borders. The publisher continues to serve as a bridge between composers and the church music community, with a short path from publisher to customer through its parent company's distribution network.
