The Music Reproduction Licence/
Collective Worship Music Reproduction Licence

Since a separate copyright exists in the typeset page, permission is usually required to make an exact reproduction, even if the work you wish to copy is no longer in copyright.

Available as an add-on to the Church Copyright Licence/Collective Worship Copyright Licence, the CCLI® Music Reproduction Licence™/Collective Worship Music Reproduction Licence™ provides convenient and affordable copyright clearance to photocopy (directly duplicate, scan or share electronically) pages from songbooks and music publications as well as sheet music files.

The licence permits you to:

• Photocopy or scan pages from authorised hymn/songbooks and sheet music publications, including typeset sheet music downloaded from the internet.
• Electronically duplicate/share sheet music files (for example by emailing a PDF to another person or via a number of networked screens)

What this licence covers:

The licence covers most sheet music publications commonly used by churches and in school assemblies. To confirm if a publication is covered view the authorised lists.
