VIRTUAL VIDEOS
synchronization licensing

Before posting a choir video on 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.

Here is what Cypress Choral Music can offer: TWO OPTIONS – depending on the format of presentation:

 

1) If the virtual video is “Whitacre style” – a compilation/collage of individual singers – faces in boxes (as in the banner above) – the “Virtual Choir License” can be obtained here.

2) If the choir is singing together as a group – performing in one location (as in the photo on the right) – the nominal fee is $25. This would include school concerts, church services, streaming a concert, etc.

 

OPTION #1 is quite complex. This Virtual Choir Bundled License provides all of the necessary rights in one comprehensive, cost effective agreement.

 

OPTION #2 – just make your request known to us and we will send you a PayPal request. . Your payment would be followed by a simple letter of permission from Cypress.  email cypresschoralmusic@gmail.com

 

Q&A: What if our choir wants to post a video with photos and artwork – with our choir singing as the soundtrack? Option #2 would apply.

 

Please let us know if you have any concerns or questions.

thanks,
