Re: Wedding tourism
I just don't do weddings, either as a musician or a guest – terribly depressing occasions – as I don't trust myself not to scream, "You don't have to do this. It's not too late!" But, back to topic, we have around 50 baptisms a year and between 120 and 150 funerals. But when it comes to we...

Re: Easter Vigil - when did you start and finish?
Right, I'll 'fess up! We started at 7pm. My head was totally against this but something inside told me to trust the PP. The result was, instead of the usual 60 or 70 in one of our smaller churches, we had 400+ in our largest building. Yes, the sun was setting as I sang the Exultet "The entire c...

Re: Involving visitors - music of First Holy Communion
I agree with SC about using a responsorial Gloria. By introducing that, and a psalm response, before Mass, you're saying to the visitors, "You're welcome to be here and we'd love you to sing." Smile at them – and at their kids – and you'll get them on board.

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
Actually I don't think it is trebling. I think Nick was looking at the US rates, in dollars and then mentally converting to pounds Not mentally – I'm not that bright – but I was looking at the wrong figure. Yes, it's double the cost but, amazingly, the PP said, "Oh, it's only a couple of quid ...

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
That would seriously limit the repertoire. And you'd have to announce everything, telling people which verses to sing.alan29 wrote:Easier to stick to hymn books.

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
Thanks for that, SC. It's been a real pain working in a parish with three churches. Christmas and Easter have been very complicated – but only because we've always been honest!

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
How does that work? Calamus has always been site-specific.markyboy2000 post wrote:We occasionally have diocesan services, which are covered by the diocese's license.

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
You can pay for one-off events but, if you're only producing a few a year, you could just go to publishers directly.JW post wrote:I understand that the fee that a church pays is the same whether you print off songs every week as Nick does, or just half a dozen times a year.

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
SC, I knew you'd have a more international view. We can see that Decani/Calamus is winding down a little – and they've given us great service for many years – but I wish there was someone nearer home who could take over from them.

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
Not quite. The cash is paid to publishers pro rata according number of reported usages, as with Calamus.JW wrote: Churches could be paying organisations whose music they may never use

One License takes over from Calamus
We'll soon no longer be able to buy an annual licence from Calamus as the service is being taken over by One License. And, for our small congregation, the difference is massive: from an annual £45 to £149. I'll have to put on my groveliest smile to get that one past the parish priest. More informati...

Re: Liverpool Synod Hymn
Yes, that makes sense.
Now, the difference between copyright and royalties?
One liturgical composer I knew, ensured that his royalties – on both sides of the Atlantic – would go to his brother.
