Do you have a question about Together in Song and copyright?
As a compilation Together in Song (The Australian Hymn Book II) draws material from all sorts of places giving you access to a range of songs. This means that there is no simple answer to the copyright question. For hymns that are Public Domain or ICEL, you don’t need permission to reprint or project.
Which hymns are Pubic Domain? Look at the smaller print at the end of the hymn. If it doesn’t have © of words like “used by permission” then it’s Public.
For current copyright hymns, you may need permission to reproduce material for use in public. Each copyright holder and publisher has different agreements with the licensing agencies. The main ones in Australia are CCLI, Word of Life and LicenSing.
Even if you have a full set of books and only project or print hymns occasionally you need to know that, from a copyright perspective, you may still need permission to make these new copies. Royalties for copies are not included in the cost of the books.
Use in a worship service is public use. If you are making copies for planning purposes, rehearsal (education) or for private use, then there are no copyright requirements.
