the   Project

Over the next two years, SLC is working to create the first ever comprehensive 2-Year Daily Psalm Resource for music in the Catholic Church using the ICEL texts. You help is needed! SLC is looking for composers to write and share their simple psalm compositions that can be used by others for daily Mass. Want more details? Then learn more about how SLC works. 

the   Parameters

We do have some composition parameters to keep the music simple:
  • ​The refrain/antiphon should be a simple single-line melody with up to one optional harmony.
  • The verse should be written using a chant-like formula (non-metrical, psalm-tone, etc) or with a very simple lyrical melody.
  • The accompaniment must at least include chords (lead sheet), but should also have a keyboard accompaniment if possible.​

the   Permissions

ICEL
All compositions should use the USCCB Liturgical texts (ICEL & CCD). SLC will work on your behalf to obtain the permissions needed.

Rights / Royalties
SLC exists to help you self-publish. As such, you retain 100% rights to any composition submitted. For royalties, you receive 40% of all income brought in by your composition(s).
