The Chorilo Sheet Music Shop: Licensed Music for Choirs

The Problem: Illegal Copying Harms Everyone

The reality in the choir world is uncomfortable: Every day, copyrighted sheet music is shared without proper licensing. What is often justified as an "emergency solution" or "for internal use only" is legally problematic and harms the entire industry. Composers and publishers lose revenue they urgently need to develop new works. Choirs risk warnings and legal consequences. The quality and diversity of new choral works suffers from lack of funding.

With the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop, we offer a fair solution. Our system makes it easy for choirs to act legally while composers and publishers are fairly compensated for every use. The Sheet Music Shop is more than just a shopping platform - it's a fair system that protects and supports both sides.

Why Licensed Sheet Music Matters

Every choir director knows the situation: You find the perfect piece for your next concert, but the question of correct licensing often remains unclear. Am I allowed to copy these notes? How many copies do I need? Do I have performance rights? These uncertainties are a thing of the past with the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop.

As a choir, you receive legally secure licenses at fair prices. Composers and publishers are fairly compensated for each individual license, enabling them to continue creating great music.

Important Note: The Chorilo Sheet Music Shop is currently still in development and not yet publicly available. If you are a choir interested in purchasing licensed music through Chorilo, or if you are a composer or publisher who would like to offer your works in the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop, please contact us at [email protected]. We look forward to shaping the future of fair music trade together with you.

How Does the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop Work?

The concept is simple and transparent: Music publishers and composers make their sheet music available in the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop and set the price per license. As a choir, you browse the sheet music shop directly in your Chorilo app for pieces, filtered by difficulty level, instrumentation, language, or genre. When you find a suitable piece, you purchase the required number of licenses - exactly as many as you have active singers in the corresponding voice part.

After purchase, you immediately receive access to the PDF sheet music and can use it in your Chorilo app - with all features like annotations, offline access, and sharing with your choir members. The special feature: Each license receives a unique license key that is directly visible on the sheet music. This key is your proof that you legally acquired the music.

The License Key: Your Proof of Legal Use

Every license purchased through the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop is provided with a unique key consisting of a combination of letters and numbers, for example: CHL-2024-A7K9-M3P5-X8Q2. This key automatically appears on every page of your PDF sheet music - discreetly placed but clearly visible.

What makes this key so special? It is unique and immutable - each license has its own key that is only assigned once. The key is verifiable - anyone can check on the Chorilo website whether a license key is valid. It contains important information such as your choir's name, purchase date, number of licenses purchased, and the name of the work. And it is legally secure - during inspections or inquiries, you can always prove that you legally acquired the music.

License Verification: Transparency for Everyone

Chorilo offers a public license verification function on the website. Anyone - whether publisher, performing rights organization, organizer, or interested third party - can enter a license key and immediately receive information about its validity.

The verification shows: Is the key valid or invalid? For which work was the license purchased? Which choir bought the license? When was the license purchased? How many licenses were bought? This transparency creates trust on all sides and makes license checks simple and unambiguous.

Benefits for Choirs

As a choir, you benefit from numerous advantages: You are legally secure - no more worries about licensing questions or missing performance rights. The purchase is simple and fast - buy music, download, and use immediately, all in one app. You have instant access - no waiting times, no shipping costs, no physical sheet music that can get lost.

The integration into Chorilo means that purchased music automatically appears in your music library and you can use all Chorilo features: annotations, offline access, sharing with members. You pay fair prices per license and have a verifiable license key for every purchased piece.

Benefits for Publishers and Composers

The provider side also benefits significantly: Publishers and composers receive fair compensation - money flows for every license sold, not just for initial sales. Our licensing system protects your works - every use is licensed, traceable, and marked with a unique key. The reach is increased - choirs can discover and purchase your works directly in the app.

The administration is simple - once uploaded and priced, sales run automatically. You receive transparent statistics about sales, popular works, and revenue. And through the license keys, you can always track who legally acquired your music.

How to Buy Music in the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop

1. Open Sheet Music Shop

Navigate to the Sheet Music Shop in your Chorilo app. You'll find it in the main menu under "Music" → "Sheet Music Shop".

2. Search and Filter Music

Use the extensive filter options: Search by title, composer, or publisher. Filter by difficulty level (easy, medium, hard, very hard). Choose the instrumentation (SATB, SAB, men's choir, women's choir, etc.). Filter by language, genre, or era. Sort by price, popularity, or newness.

3. View Music Preview

Click on a piece to see details: Complete work description, audio samples (if available), difficulty level and duration, price per license. Many publishers offer a free preview of the first pages so you can get an idea of the piece.

4. Choose Number of Licenses

Specify how many licenses you need. As a rule of thumb: One license per active singer in the respective voice part. Chorilo automatically shows you the total price.

5. Purchase and Download

Complete the purchase through secure payment processing (credit card, PayPal, SEPA direct debit). The music immediately appears in your music library with the unique license keys on every page.

Individual License Keys for Each Member

A special feature of the Chorilo Sheet Music Shop: When you purchase, for example, 45 licenses, 45 individual license keys are generated. Each choir member who opens the music receives their own unique license key on the PDF pages. This means maximum transparency and traceability - each individual license can be verified independently.

This individual assignment has several advantages: During inspections, each member can present their own license key. The license keys are personalized and traceable. And there are no mix-ups or ambiguities about the number of licenses purchased.

License Export: Usable Independent of Chorilo

Chorilo offers a unique feature for long-term legal security: You can export all your licenses. The export contains all important information about your purchased licenses - work titles, number of licenses, purchase date, license keys, and more.

The special feature: This export is also valid outside of Chorilo. Even if your choir no longer wants to use Chorilo, you have a permanent, legally secure proof of your licenses. You can print the export, archive it, or present it when needed - completely independent of the Chorilo platform. This way, your investments in licensed music are protected long-term.
