ONELICENSE Affiliation
Simply Liturgical Music (SLM) is a "Member-Publisher" of OneLicense.net. Having your compositions added to OneLicense database is part of what you receive from SLC (you, as composer, receive 40% of all royalties received through copy-reporting). However, as a self-publishing composer, could also become a Member-Publisher who upkeeps a database on their website (and you would receive 100% or all royalties received through copy-reporting). Just contact Brenna C. Cronin to get started.
What is One License?
In order for parishes/communities to display music in any way, shape, or form to their congregants, they must pay a licensing fee to whatever licensing company that music's composer/publisher is affiliated. One License is a licensing company that grants copyright permission of congregational music (text and melody only) for most main-line Catholic publishing companies, including OCP, GIA, WLP, and... SLM (since we are a Member Publisher).
On their website, they say that "One License is the most comprehensive way to acquire reprint permissions from multiple publishers at the same time." They use online reporting to inform us, a Member Publisher, of the titles you have reprinted for your congregations. At the end of the year, they pay us our allotted portion of reprint-permission royalties.
