Holiday Cover Songs Currently In The Public Domain

Post author By James Shotwell
Post date November 5, 2014

Hello, everyone! Thank you for finding time in your hectic schedule to spend a few minutes learning about the music industry with us. We actually ran a shorter version of the feature you’re about to enjoy not long after our initial launch, but with the recent reports of snowfall and the growing presence of holiday nonsense in stories it felt like the perfect time to deliver an update take on the hot topic of seasonal cover songs. There is a lot of marketing to be done with solid covers, and as we’ll soon explain you don’t always need to worry about licensing fees when adding your twist on many holiday classics.

This blog exists to promote the future of the entertainment industry, and to do that we need input from people like you and your entertainment-loving friends. If you have any questions about the content in this article, or if you have an artist you would like to see featured on this blog, please contact james@haulix.com. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

The topic of cover songs can be a tricky one. Not everyone loves them, but every year a number of artists new and old rise to the top of their respective music scenes by adding their own take to an already well-known song. The problem with covers as far as young artists and groups are concerned usually involves royalties and whether or not they can afford to market their recording beyond streams and videos. Today we’re going to look at holiday covers, and how you can leverage royalty-free songs to reach new listeners who otherwise may have never discovered your music.

You may or may not be aware of the term ‘public domain,’ but it refers to works whose intellectual property rights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable. In other words, works that are unavailable for private ownership or are otherwise available for public use. You do not need mechanical licenses to sell your version of these works, but certain arrangements me be copyrighted (do your own research). Below is a list of holiday songs currently in the public domain:

“Angels We Have Heard On High”
“Auld Lang Syne”
“Away In The Manger”
“Deck The Halls”
“The First Noel”
“Go Tell It On The Mountain”
“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”
“Hark, The Herald Angels Sing”
“I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day”
“I Saw Three Ships”
“It Came Upon A Midnight Clear”
“Jingle Bells”
“Joy To The World”
“Come All Ye Faithful”
“O Holy Night”
“O Little Town Of Bethlehem”
“Silent Night”
“There’s a Song In The Air”
“Toyland"
“The Twelve Days of Christmas”
“Up On The Housetop”
“We Three Kings"
“We Wish You A Merry Christmas”
“What Child Is This?“

Many classic Christmas songs that are presumed to be in the public domain are in fact copyrighted, so make sure to double-check your sources before deciding a track is public domain. PDInfo Online (www.pdinfo.com) is a good starting point if the liner notes and copyright information are unavailable. Here are just a few notable songs that would require a mechanical license: Christmas Songs NOT in the public domain

(Writer/Composer)

“Winter Wonderland” (Written by: Felix Bernard, Richard B. Smith)
“The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)” (Mel Tormé, Robert Wells)
“Sleigh Ride” (Leroy Anderson, Mitchell Parish)
“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” (Ralph Blane, Hugh Martin)
“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” (Fred Coots, Haven Gillespie)
“White Christmas” (Irving Berlin)
“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” (Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne)
“Jingle Bell Rock” (Joseph Carleton Beal, James Ross Boothe)
“Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” (Johnny Marks)
“Little Drummer Boy” (Katherine K. Davis, Henry V. Onorati, Harry Simeone)
“It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” (Edward Pola, George Wyle)
“I’ll Be Home For Christmas” (Walter Kent, Kim Gannon, Buck Ram)
“Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” (Johnny Marks)
“Silver Bells” (Jay Livingston, Ray Evans)
“Feliz Navidad” (Jose Feliciano)
“Frosty The Snowman” (Steve Nelson, Walter E. Rollins)
“A Holly Jolly Christmas” (Johnny Marks)
“Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)” (Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman)
“Carol Of The Bells” (Peter J. Wilhousky, Mykola Leontovich)

There is no question that some of the songs mentioned above have been reinterpreted by so many artists that putting an original spin on proceedings seems impossible, but it’s often the most challenging of endeavors that prove to be the most fruitful. By taking a holiday classic like the ones above and making it your own you’re further engaging already devoted followers while simultaneously creating an amazing opportunity to reach new fans. The holiday season generates a large amount of sales and internet searches for seasonal music, and with proper tagging your efforts will reach countless new listeners who could very quickly be converted into fans.

Haulix Advice: Are You Getting Paid What Is Owed To You By Streaming Services?

Post author By James Shotwell
Post date November 26, 2013

Hello, everyone! We are continuing our look at life in the music industry this afternoon with the first of two Advice columns for the week. If you have any questions about the content of this article, or if you have a suggestions for a future installment of this series, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

Hunter S. Thompson famously called the music industry ‘a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.’ While we do not necessarily agree with this sentiment,we can agree the music publishing world is a strange and often confusing place place where things slip through the cracks when no one is looking. If you’re a band working with sites like Spotify or Rdio today without someone representing you in the publishing world who has at the very least a working knowledge of how the business game is played there is a good chance you may be missing out on money that is owed to you. We cannot help you claim monies potentially due, but we can help you better understand the numerous ways independent artists are able to generate income through streaming services.

1. Basic stream payments

There have been dozens, if not hundreds of blog posts written across the world wide web about the lack of quote/unquote “fair” payout to artists from streaming platforms. Many bands have turned to social media with complaints, often citing how thousands of streams resulted in less cash than would be required to fill the same band’s van a single time while on tour. Regardless, there is money to be made here. These payments are often referred to as the ‘master royalty’ or ‘artist royalty,’ but in simpler terms they are fees being paid for streaming your licensed sound recording.

2. Peformance royalties

Performance royalties in the music industry can include any of the following:

a performance of a song or composition – live, recorded or broadcast
a live performance by any musician
a performance by any musician through a recording on physical media
performance through the playing of recorded music
music performed through the web (digital transmissions)

That last one is where streaming comes in. As long as you’re registered as both a songwriter and publisher with a performing rights organization such as ASCAP or BMI, then you’ll receive these royalties. If not, click here for more information on Performing Rights Organizations and how you can become a member.

3. Mechanical royalties

The term mechanical royalty covers any copyrighted audio composition that is rendered mechanically. For example:

tape recordings
music videos
ringtones
MIDI files
downloaded tracks
DVDs, VHS, UMDs
computer games
musical toys etc.

Several online services, including YouTube and Spotify, likely owe you for these royalties. Unfortunately, due to a number of loopholes and similar ‘industry troubles’ many independent artists never see this money without the help of a publishing agent (HFA, for example).

4. Performance royalties for the master recording

This one requires the help of our friends at SoundExchange. They collect performance royalties on behalf of the people who helped create a particular sound recording, including session players, record labels, etc. Spotify pays these kinds of performance royalties to SoundExchange for “non-interactive” plays via Spotify Radio, but not for on-demand streams).If you’re interested in joining SoundExchange, click here for information on becoming a member. Signing up is fast, easy, and best of all – absolutely FREE.
