PDF POLICY EFFECTIVE 9/15/2022

Thank you for requesting a pdf from earthsongs.  Please read the following information carefully:

For Pieces Currently in Print – US Customers

1. At earthsongs, we pride ourselves on providing quick service and shipping your music within a day or two of receiving your order.  Because of this, we prefer to send printed copies of our publications.  Requests for pdfs of pieces in print will be considered depending on circumstances.

2. All pdfs are licensed.  Only customers ordering directly from us can receive licensed pdfs.  We are unable to supply pdfs to retailers.

3. To receive a licensed pdf, customers are required to purchase a copy for every choir member and one for the conductor, with a minimum order of 20 copies. We must have the name of the conductor and the name of the choir to create the license.

4. We never send a pdf when a single reference copy is ordered.  Single reference copies will be sent via US Mail and may be stamped DO NOT COPY on every page.

5. All licensed pdfs will have a watermark on every page, indicating the name of the choir, the name of the conductor, and the number of copies you have purchased.  This watermark is placed diagonally across each page of music.  The music is still readable, although this may be a challenge for some singers. Please email us at [email protected] for a sample of how the license looks.

6. Payment via credit card or PayPal (additional fee) is required before the licensed pdf is sent.

7. If you request and receive a title in pdf, you will NOT receive hard copies of the piece. 

For pieces NOT Currently in Print (pdf only) – US Customers
