The Gungahlin Uniting Church (GUC) song list serves as a reference for worship leaders when selecting music for Sunday worship.
Music Copyright
Gungahlin Uniting Church has a legal and moral responsibility to ensure we are using copyright-protected works with permission. GUC has the following CCLI licences to cover copyright requirements:
- Church Copyright Licence
- Streaming Licence
- SongSelect® Premium
- Music Reproduction Licence
- Church Video Licence
Songs chosen for worship that do not have a CCLI licence are required to have the appropriate licence purchased to cover the music & projection of the lyrics on the screen or be public domain. Public domain means that it is free for people to copy, perform, broadcast etc. Usually this applies to older music where the songwriter, composer and arranger have been dead for more than 50 years (or 70 years in the case of music written after 1 January 2019)
Together in Song: Australian hymn book II
Together in Song: Australian hymn book II (ISBN 1-86371-762-5) is out of print as the publisher, HarperCollins, decided not to renew licence agreements with copyright holders upon their expiration in 2018.
