Music Rights & Permissions

We are pleased to give advice, and to grant licences and permissions for the use of items from our copyright music and hymn catalogues for the UK and US. We deal with music for live performance and for recordings, and with music for film. Contact us if you wish to reproduce OUP music in print or electronically, or make an adaptation or arrangement. We also grant permissions for the use of our copyright hymn texts.
