Copying Music Without Permission Is Against the Law

Copying music without permission is against the law

So how do you introduce new music to your worshipping community without breaking the bank? Talk to Sue Dean about the Calamus UK Copyright Scheme.* Sue is happy to give you advice on the best way forward for your Church's/ Group's long-term circumstances or on what you need to do when preparing music for a once-only event.
Calamus administers copyrights of hymns and other liturgical music in the UK. It represents many publishers and organisations, giving access to a large proportion of the repertoire used particularly, but not exclusively, in Catholic Liturgy today and allowing reproduction of the words and melody line of the pieces covered under the scheme. It offers two levels of service: Annual licence - mainly taken up by Churches or Christian Communities or Special permission for individual or one-time use e.g. a Workshop or special Service.
*UK and Republic of Ireland only.
