SL Composer Application

Simply Liturgical is looking for talented liturgical composers to publish their compositions on our website. As a liturgical composer on our platform, you will earn 30% royalties for each sale. However, not just any composer can sell music though SLM, SL’s online distribution platform. Therefore, we are requesting applicants to fill out the following form to help us learn more about their background, experience, and abilities. Specifically, we are looking for composers who have a strong background in music composition, have experience in liturgical music composition, and are adept at using music notation software.

Please note that as a part of this application, you will submit 3 examples of your liturgical music in PDF format. MP3s, if available, are encouraged as well. Remember to demonstrate your compositional ability and range by sending in what you feel are your best pieces. We look forward to reviewing your application and potentially working with you!
 
NOTE 1: These submissions are for the application process only and will not be added to the SLM website as part of this process.

Please fill out the following information as accurately as possible.

Music / Composition Background

All SL Composers have a different background in music and composition. This diversity enriches the selections of music that SL is able to offer worshiping communities. Please fill out the information below as comprehensively as possible to give us a good idea of your unique music and composition background.

Liturgical Experience and Philosophy

All SL Composers have unique liturgical experience and backgrounds. The questions below will help to paint a picture.

Digital Engraving Abilities

All music submissions must be digitized using music notation software and submitted in PDF format. Since all SL composers are "self-publishing" their music, submissions must also be "print-ready." This means that the engraving of all music should be clean, follow all standard music notation rules, and be ready for any parish musician to easily read upon download/print.
