What is "licensing" and how long does it take?
-
Obtaining a license or "licensing" is simply permission from the copyright holder to make the arrangement. A third party collects the licensing fee directly from the ensemble/organization. These fees are in addition to arranging fees. While some licenses are issued almost immediately, others can take weeks or months. In some circumstances, permission cannot be obtained. It's a good idea to select titles and obtain permission well in advance of when you need the arrangement.
