What are Grand Rights in music?
Grand rights refer to permissions needed for large-scale, dramatic presentations of a musical work, like operas, ballets, or musical theater. They are crucial for performances that go beyond just playing the music, involving elements like choreography, staging, or dramatic action.
Can I perform Wild Symphony in a concert without Grand Rights?
Yes, absolutely! For a standard concert performance where the music is performed without any theatrical or dramatic elements (meaning, use of the text and/or images from the Wild Symphony book), grand rights are typically not required. However, securing the right to use the score and parts to perform the piece is still necessary, which you can do here.
Do I need Grand Rights permissions to perform Wild Symphony in a school play?
Yes, if your school play incorporates dramatic elements with the music, such as acting or dance, obtaining permission is necessary.
Are Grand Rights required for a ballet set to Wild Symphony?
Yes, a ballet performance, being a dramatic work that interprets the music through dance, would require securing grand rights.
