Text Selection and Permissions Composers choose inspiring contemporary texts which best express their own sensibility and which are appropriate for a specific musical purpose or occasion. Setting texts to music exposes wider audiences to the unique contributions of talented writers and poets.
All composers create music which is unique and expressly crafted for the text selected.
Permission to perform the work in public throughout the world. Permission to copyright the musical work in association with the text. Permission to assign the musical work to a music publisher or to self-publish the musical work. Deadline Constraints Composers freqently write on commission with deadlines, and so appreciate a timely response when their requests are to fulfill such specific projects. Composers need permission before beginning the task of writing the music.
