Reviewed and Approved
Every piece of music we receive from a composer is reviewed and approved by our SLC Review Board, our local ordinary – the Archdiocese of Omaha (original texts), and the USCCB (ICEL / GRAIL texts). At SLM, we have a two-fold mission:
- To make sure our music is connected with the liturgical action of the Mass (SC 112)
- To provide music that spans the richness and diversity of genre and style practiced in today’s liturgy.
Jason Liles
Entrepreneurs
Like Jason, some of our composers started their own companies in order to share their music with others. SLM is helping them to widen their net.
Michael Joncas
Industry Leaders
Like Michael, some of our composers are already published through major companies (OCP, GIA, etc), but they have more music they want to share.
Todd Mesler, Jr.
Undiscovered Talents
Like Todd, some of our composers are not published at all. SLM is giving them a new opportunity to share their music with the world.
Quality Composing
Created by Professionals
SLM brings you new quality music created by a growing network of talented liturgical music composers from all over the world. These individuals have chosen SLM in order to publish and sell their music directly to you! All the music is thoroughly reviewed by our SLC Review Board.
Practical Platform
Shared Through Innovation
Digital
SLM offers only PDF digital sheet music and MP3 files. You will never receive physical items from us as we are committed to caring for our common home and cutting back on waste and conserving natural resources. Though we always encourage our clients to be as green as possible, you can print copies of all the files we send you and can also share them digitally.
Green
Laudato si’ calls us to care for our common home. That’s why SLM is committed to offering only digital products. We are dedicated to being the change we want to see in the world. We do not waste materials and we do not encourage our customers to waste materials. Together, we can make our shared home a better place.
Fair
At SLM, we believe you should only have to purchase a product once. When you purchase or download a piece of music from us, you own it for life. You also own every single part the composer has ever created for that piece including the instrumental score, Octavo, and Lead Sheet. Once you have purchased the piece, you can also digitally share or print it as much as needed.
Just
Did you know that that many liturgical composers are not justly compensated for their work? Composers typically receive the industry standard of 10% royalties and do not retain any rights to their music. The only way for the composers to make money is for the music to sell extremely well, which is not usually the case. If the music is not being properly advertised, the composer has no other options as they do not own the rights. At SLM, we are committed to changing these standards. Our composers keep complete ownership (100% rights) to their music and get paid 30% of all sales of their compositions.
