Commissioning an original piece is more than a transaction—it is a collaborative artistic journey. From the initial exchange of ideas to rehearsals, and ultimately, the premiere. It is a collaborative process that fosters creativity, connection, and artistic growth for all involved. It is an experience that leaves a lasting imprint on both the commissioner and the creator, culminating in a work that is uniquely yours.
To ensure clarity and mutual understanding, here are the key considerations regarding commissioning, rates, and copyright:
Rates & Payment Structure
The cost of a commissioned work varies depending on several artistic and logistical factors, including:
- Duration of the composition
- Instrumentation and/or voicing required
- Level of complexity (technical and interpretative)
- Timeline for completion and delivery
Once terms are agreed upon, the standard payment schedule is as follows:
- 50% deposit is required to initiate the project
- 50% balance is due upon delivery of the final composition
This arrangement allows for a structured, transparent process while honoring the creative labor and time invested in the work.
Copyright & Performance Rights
- The composer retains full copyright of the composition.
- As the commissioning party, you are granted exclusive performance rights for a predetermined period. During this time, the piece will not be made available to other ensembles.
- Your ensemble’s name and dedication will be elegantly inscribed on the score, commemorating your role in bringing the work to life.
- You may make unlimited copies of the music for your ensemble’s use in current and future performances.
- Publication of the piece is determined solely by the composer and may occur at a later time, or not at all, depending on the nature and context of the work.
We view each commission as a shared artistic endeavor—crafted with care, shaped by dialogue, and destined to become part of your musical legacy.
Commission Music for Your Choir
A Passion for Choral Music
Cherly’s deep affection for choral music lies at the heart of her creative work. As both a composer and choral artist, she finds profound joy in writing music that brings voices together in harmony—whether for youth choirs, community ensembles, or professional vocal groups. Her compositions span a range of technical levels and musical expressions, crafted to meet the unique needs and character of each ensemble.
Commissioned works are among the most fulfilling projects she undertakes. Each commission presents not only a creative challenge, but also a meaningful dialogue with conductors, singers, and organizations. These collaborations allow her to tailor music that reflects the identity, purpose, and aspirations of the ensemble, while also pushing the boundaries of her own artistic voice. It is through this exchange that music becomes more than notes on a page—it becomes a shared story, one that resonates far beyond the performance itself.
Cherly welcomes thoughtful conversation and collaboration. Whether you are seeking a new choral piece for a special occasion, a competition, or a signature work that defines your ensemble’s sound, she is always open to exploring your ideas and artistic vision.
Let’s create something meaningful together.
