Licensing & Reproduction Policy
Materials are licensed to the original purchaser. Purchasers can make as many copies as needed, year after year, if they have the master or PDF file. If you are using a personal credit card, but will be reimbursed by an organization, the license will be in the name of the organization. If the licensee is not clear from the available information, you may be contacted to confirm. View our Licensing and Reproduction Policy below.
Festival Music Press Policy for Reproduction
Definition of Original Purchaser: The Original Purchaser is the individual, single school, church, or choral group licensed to make and use copies of reproducible music purchased from Festival Music Press. Any other use of Festival Music Press reproducible materials requires prior written permission of the publisher.
1. Individual Purchase
An individual who purchases reproducible music from Festival Music Press with personal, non-reimbursed funds is the Original Purchaser and is licensed to make and use copies of the music listed on the Reproduction License only for choral groups directed by the Original Purchaser. Copies may not be sold, distributed, or donated to any other individual, organization, church, or school. If the Original Purchaser leaves an affiliated school, church, and/or other organization, the license to reproduce remains with the Original Purchaser. The originals and any copies made during the Original Purchaser's tenure must be removed, unless Festival Music Press is notified in writing of a transfer of ownership to a single school, church, or other organization. Example: The Original Purchaser leads choirs at a middle school, a high school, and a church. S/he may use the purchased music at all three locations. If s/he leaves one or more of the locations, all copies must be removed, since neither the schools nor the church have reproduction rights.
2. Single School Purchase
A single school that purchases reproducible music from Festival Music Press with school or organization funds or a district purchase order is the Original Purchaser. If materials will be shipped to a central warehouse or other third-party recipient, a purchase order must identify the single school that will be the licensed Original Purchaser. Only choirs directly affiliated with the Original Purchaser may make and use copies of the music listed on the Reproduction License. Copies may not be sold, distributed, or donated to any other individual, organization, church, or school. Example: Adams High School purchases music using a school or district purchase order, a school or school organization check, or a school or individual's credit card that is subsequently submitted for reimbursement. Adams High School is the Original Purchaser and cannot sell, distribute, or donate copies to any other individual, organization, church, or school, within or outside its own school district.
Multiple School Purchase: School districts may apply for multiple school reproduction licenses. Each named school will receive its own master copies and reproduction license. Contact Festival Music Press for details.
3. Single Church Purchase
A single church that purchases reproducible music from Festival Music Press with church or church organization funds or an individual's check or credit card that is subsequently submitted for reimbursement is the Original Purchaser. Only choirs directly affiliated with the Original Purchaser may make and use copies of the music listed on the Reproduction License. Copies may not be sold, distributed, or donated to any other individual, organization, school, or church. Example: Mount Tabor Lutheran Church purchases reproducible music. Mount Tabor Lutheran Church is the Original Purchaser and cannot sell, distribute, or donate copies to any other individual, organization, school, or church, within or outside its own diocese or denomination.
4. Single Civic or Professional Choral Group
A single choral group that purchases reproducible music from Festival Music Press is the Original Purchaser. Only this choral group may make and use copies of the music listed on the Reproduction License. Copies may not be sold, distributed, or donated to any other individual, school, church, or organization.
