Copyright Considerations for Show Choirs - 0 views

  • For example, the song Yesterday, written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, was originally written for guitar and vocals. If one wants to make an arrangement of this work for a show choir, one must add in the various vocals, the instruments needed for accompaniment, and the parts for those various instruments. Thus, a custom arrangement license is needed and the permission of the publisher or rights’ holder is required to make this derivative work.
  • cutting and pasting or re-typing the music into a notation program, one must obtain a custom arrangement license.
  •  
    This article discusses the various types of licenses and permissions needed to be compliant with copyright law, specifically geared toward show choirs. Information like this is important to know as a choir director so that you can ensure that the music you are performing isn't infringing on any laws.
