Copyright & Song Info

Copyright Info

PrairieView Press has been working with copyright companies for almost 30 years, and will be glad to do the copyright work on any songbook project for you! (See the "Songbook" section under Printing Services for more info on this.)

We are receiving an increasing number of calls requesting contact information for copyright companies, and we’re glad that there is a growing awareness of copyright laws regarding copying songs for church or school use, or for typesetting, arranging, or recording purposes.

Because of our work in dealing with copyright companies in our songbook projects, we’ve built up a fairly large database of their contact info. You can open a pdf of our copyright contacts and search it online, print or save it. (Please note when searching that authors are listed in 'Last, First' name format.) We can also mail you a hard copy for a handling fee of $5 plus shipping; just email us or give us a call. Feel free to contact us with any questions you have regarding copyrights or copyright companies. Some places online where you can obtain copyright permission for songs are www.musicservices.org and www.ccli.com .
 
A few points regarding songs found in songbooks we have published:
  • If the song has no copyright notice printed at the bottom of the page, it is considered public domain and can be used, copied, or arranged free of charge for any purpose.

  • Some songs may have a notice saying “Copyright by PrairieView Press.” PrairieView Press does not actually own any songs, and the rights remain with the author. You will need to contact them if you need permission to use a song. We can refer you to the author, or you can find their contact info on our copyright list.

  • If PrairieView Press has a copyright notice on the copyright page at the front of a songbook, this covers the book itself – the unique selection of songs, typesetting, etc. This does not mean that we own the songs. However, if you wish to copy our typeset song for a for-profit songbook, even if it is a public domain song, please contact us as a fee may apply.

Song Info

We have a database containing info on over 16,000 religious songs, including first lines, titles, and authors, which we have recorded over the years from the books we sell. We also have a large collection of old songbooks, with many of the songs in these books also listed. We are working to have this info available online sometime in the future, see this page .  Meanwhile, if you're looking for a song, feel free to call us at 1-800-477-7377 or email us anytime and we'll try to help you find it.
