faq about lux nova press
-
Does Lux Nova Press accept unsolicited submissions from composers?
Lux Nova Press is not accepting
unsolicited manuscripts from composers at this time.
Our production schedule does not currently allow
time for editorial review of new works
by composers who are not currently in our catalog.
-
When will you be open to unsolicited submissions again?
Not in the near future.
Check this page every few months or so to see if
situation has changed before making any inquiry.
-
Does Savory Press accept submissions of unsolicited manuscripts?
No, it does not. Savory Press publishes only the music of Susan J. Clearman. Lux Nova Press acts as
the authorized distributor of music from Savory Press.
-
Does Lux Nova Press sell printed music through
traditional music stores?
Yes. Please support you local music
retailer. If your retailer is unfamiliar with our catalog,
please offer them our contact information and ask them to
get in touch with us. Dealer inquiries are always
welcomed.
-
Will Lux Nova Press drop ship orders placed through
traditional music dealers?
Yes. If there is a rush or special order, at the
dealer's request we can drop ship to their customer.
-
Does Lux Nova Press sell its printed music online?
Yes. Visit our CCNow affiliated
webstore
to securely purchase music online with a credit card.
-
Does Lux Nova Press sell printed music as digital downloads?
No.
-
I'm hesitant about ordering and paying for music
on the internet. Can I buy directly from Lux Nova Press without buying
online from the webstore?
If you are an institution such as a university, school, or public library,
you can buy at retail directly from Lux Nova Press via
an institutional purchase order sent by U.S. mail or
e-mail. Purchase orders sent by fax are also possible
in exceptional circumstances,
but are not preferred. Inquire by e-mail about
instututional accounts and terms.
If you are an individual residing within the USA
and are unable or reluctant to buy through the webstore with a credit card,
prepayment by personal check or money order is
requested with your order; otherwise it is recommended that
you place orders through a music retailer. If it
is a rush order or otherwise necessary,
the retailer can request that we drop ship
the music directly to you.
-
Can I pay for a direct order by credit card?
At this time, only with an American Express Card for orders
not placed through our CCNow webstore.
For orders placed through the webstore, Visa, MasterCard,
Discover, and American Express are accepted by CCNow.
-
To whom are performance royalties paid for public performances?
Lux Nova Press is an
ASCAP
member publisher. For public concerts, radio/TV/internet
broadcasts, and other uses
that fall within the realm of "small rights" (non-dramatic uses)
ASCAP
(American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers)
and its affiliates worldwide collect roylaties for Lux Nova Press and
Savory Press and their ASCAP member composers/lyricists. A single ASCAP license for
a concert covers all ASCAP music used in that concert.
Some composers/authors based in countries outside
the USA are represented by their respective performing rights societies such
as SUISA (for Switzerland). ASCAP collects "small rights"
performance royalties within the USA for them through affiliation
agreements, so these works are also covered for
non-dramatic performances
within the USA by your ASCAP license.
Occasionally, some
copyrighted lyrics set to music in the Lux Nova Press catalog
(such as those of Ray Bradbury)
may be represented within the USA by
BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.),
which collects performance
royalties on behalf of its writers. If you perform music
written by BMI affiliated composers/authors, you will also
need to obtain a BMI license for performance of those works.
-
Are royalties paid to ASCAP for performance of music in a religious service?
In the USA, live performance of music in the context of a religious service is
exempt from performance royalties. However, broadcasts (radio/TV/internet)
of copyright-protected music in the context of religious services
are not exempt from royalties.
-
What about licenses and royalties for dramatic uses of music?
Licenses for dramatic uses (theater, opera, ballet, modern dance, etc.)
are obtained directly from the publisher, and the royalties for
these "grand rights" are paid directly to the publisher. However,
a publisher may contract with a designatied agent to handle these
and other kinds of licenses on their behalf.
-
What about "mechanical licenses" for making and distributing
audio recordings of music?
Many publishers contract with the Harry Fox Agency as designated
agent for handling "mechanical rights" for audio recordings.
However, neither Lux Nova Press nor Savory Press have contracted with
Harry Fox Agency for these services, but we are currently
considering doing so. Until then, mechanical licenses
for audio recordings may be
obtained directly from both publishers.
-
What about "synchronization licenses" for use of music with film,
video, or other media?
At this time, all synchronization licenses
may be obtained directly
from the respective publisher, whether
Lux Nova Press or Savory Press.
Note that for such use of an existing sound recording,
you must also obtain a "mastering license" from the copyright owner of
that sound recording. Often, these can be negotiated together
when the copyright owner of the music and the sound recording
are one and the same. But when they are different,
two distinct licenses must be negotiated, one for "synchronization"
(the music itself) the other for "mastering" (the specific sound
recording of that music).
