VIRTUAL VIDEOS and STREAMING
synchronization licensing
Before posting a choir video online – Youtube or Vimeo etc., or Live-Streaming a choir performance (including church services), choirs need to write publishers for a synchronization license – because of copyright matters. If you’ve posted a video prematurely, it’s not too late to make amends.
Cypress Choral Music offers TWO OPTIONS – depending on the format of presentation:
OPTION #1) If the virtual video is a compilation/collage of individual singers – faces in boxes (as in the banner above) – the fee is $50.
OPTION #2) If the choir is singing together as a group – performing in one location (as in this covid era photo) – the nominal fee is $25. This would include school concerts, church services, streaming a concert, etc.
Make your request known to us and we will send you a PayPal request. Your payment will be followed by a simple letter of permission from Cypress.
Q: What if our choir wants to post a video with photos and artwork – with our choir singing as the soundtrack? A: Option #2 would apply.
Q: May we embed the video on our choir website? A: Yes, please do.
Q: How long may we keep the video online? A: For as long as you wish.
REQUEST: Please put the composer credit on the top line of the video description, together with the publisher – like the screenshot below.
Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions. email cypresschoralmusic@gmail.com
