  • 1.  Copyrights in Musical Revues

    Posted 12-11-2017 00:15
    I'm wanting to create a musical revue using the compositions of Jeff Williams. I would arrange the pieces for a pit orchestra and the desired characters I have in mind. My only concern is how copyright would work for this. It would be small performances most likely.

    You need to secure the performing rights from BMI/ASCAP/SESAC. You'll need to submit your complete playlist to them.
