IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT:
Willow Publishing, producers of the As One Voice publication collection and GIA Publications have both decided to withdraw from the Word of Life International Full Music Copy licensing program. This means that from 29th January, 2011 all licence holders that have a licence number of 5,000 and above must stop using any copied full score music or making new copies of music owned or controlled by Willow Publishing and GIA Publications.

All copies made using this licence must now be destroyed and no longer used. We understand that this will cause much difficulty for these licence holders and we ask that all queries, suggestions and complaints be forwarded to Monica O'Brien info@willowpublishing.com.au or 02 9948 3957 at Willow Publishing & Alec Harris custserv@giamusic.com at GIA Publications for clarification. Licence holders will now be able to buy and download full score music sheets from web sites associated with these two companies.

NEW TRANSLATION MASS SETTINGS:
ICEL has granted a complimentary licence to reproduce the text only for the new Mass setting translations. See their website page for more information www.icelweb.org/copyright.htm

All licence holders wanting to reproduce the new Mass setting text will now not require permission or licensing to reproduce text for Mass services. This means no data reporting of Mass setting text needs to be returned to Word of Life International.

REMINDER:
Just a reminder about our "WORKSHOP LINKS" page. If you are a composer/Christian songwriter and wish to be added to WOL'S list of composers and you would like to be added to this list, please let us know by emailing us your information from the Publisher/Composer Representation section of this web site.

We have started to list the link to publisher's web sites on our "Publisher List Page". This will give you the opportunity to check out the latest music from that publisher and whether the music is able to be purchsed over the internet.


We have finally been able to build a page so that licence fees can be paid from the web site. This may be a good thing for our overseas customers.

We have just added a new title search facility to our web site where you can search for a song/hymn by title, composer and administrator /publisher. Click here
