If we are using the Chabanel psalms or the Moyne Gospel Acclamations, is permission needed? Does anyone have the verbiage worked out for the acknowledgement?
Those are distributed on the net by our friends at Corpus Christi Watershed ( http://ccwatershed.org/ ), so we at CMAA aren't in a position to speak for them, really.
If I understand aright, no permission is needed to perform a work at Mass, but streaming the performance on the net probably requires permission. I expect the composers would be generous about it, but out of respect I think you should ask.
Some of the composers on that site mark their scores with a Creative Commons license, which may make permission automatic under some conditions. Are the works you want to use CC-licensed?
