GLEE to GOLD: a MUSIC LICENSING GOLDMINE for SONGWRITERS and MUSIC PUBLISHING By: Jeffbrabec Todd Brabec GLEE TO GOLD: A MUSIC LICENSING GOLDMINE FOR SONGWRITERS AND MUSIC PUBLISHING by: JeffBrabec Todd Brabec Getting a song performed by the cast of Glee can mean a lot more than being heard by over 11 million viewers in the United States. One performance can lead to a virtually unlimited number of new money making licensing opportunities because of the multi-platform universe that is today's and tomonow's entertainment industry. This article begins with the initial license negotiation to put a copyrighted song into the television episode. Then the article describes the various licensing activities that can occur because of the initial or subsequent broadcasts, and the money that can be made both in the short term and long term not only from the Glee cast version but also for the song itself as recorded by the original recording artist. 1. The Initial Television Series License Request Once a song is selected for use in an episode of Glee, the show's producer (many times via a music clearance company or in house staff) contacts the music publisher that contt·ols the composition and requests permission to include the song in the series. As with virtually all uses of musical compositions in audio visual productions in the United States (e.g. television, motion pictures, video games, etc.), the producer must secure permission via a negotiated license (known as a "syndn·onization" license) since there are no statutory rates in this area. And yes, a music publisher can, with few exceptions, refuse to license a composition if it so chooses. This initial request states the title of the song and the identity of both the songwriter and music publisher. As with all television license requests, there is a brief scene description so that the publisher is able to see the actual context (e.g., the Glee cast sings the song in the gym or sung during a dream sequence) in which the song is used as well as the projected timing and type of use (e.g, visual vocal/ full use or background instrumental/ not more than 2 minutes). The synchronization request then sets forth in detail the duration of the license and the type of media on which the episode will be distributed. The initial season license request for a program like Glee usually has a number of different media distribution variations and contains additional options for futther distribution channels exercisable by the producer anytime between 12 to 18 months after the initial episode broadcast. Media requests may change from season to season depending on the success of the series and creation and/or evolution of media distribution channels. i Cunently, the initial areas of media platform licensing focus with options are: All Media (excluding theatrical) now known or hereafter devised, worldwide in perpetuity: $___ _ It should be noted that the value of the above all media licensing scheme request is that it allows the producer, for a one-time fee, to distribute the series in virtually every distribution platform including all forms of television, home and personal video, etc. Virtually the only exclusion is the release of the episode as a theatrical motion picture. Options: A) Option for out-of-context trailers, advettisements and promotional programs (but expressly excluding any cross promotion) to advertise the series worldwide in any and all media (excluding theatrical) now known or hereafter devised for the period of eighteen months. $__ _ B) Option for out-of-context advettising and promotion in All Media- United States, its tenitories and possessions, up to 0:30 - $ per week. For informational purposes, license requests do change depending on the success of the series and the following represents alternative approaches to licensing when a show first statts off. As you will see, many times there are more options involved in a request during a series' first or second season before its future becomes more certain. This licensing strategy gives producers a less expensive way to secure the music that they want to use without having to immediately commit to the more expensive "all media excluding theatrical" type oflicense requested by successful series. The following represents an example of such a multi-option approach: a) All Media (excluding theatrical) now known or hereafter devised, worldwide in perpetuity. b) 5 Years All TV Media now known or hereafter devised, including internet streaming (linear only) worldwide. c) Perpetuity All TV Media now known or hereafter devised, including intemet streaming (linear only), worldwide. d) Digital Downloads-Unless or until the All Media option is exercised, an option for digital downloads of the entire episode (linear only) for sale or promotion. (For clarity, commercial DVDs and other fotms of physical home video devices are not included), worldwide, 1 year commencing from the initial download availability. Then there may be additional options, exercisable by the producer, which cover the following: 1. All Media (excluding theatrical and All TV Media previously licensed in perpetuity) now known or hereafter devised, worldwide in perpetuity (exercisable within 24 months after initial broadcast of the episode). 2. Out-of-Context advertising and promotion-United States, its territories and possessions, All Media up to 0:30; $__ for 30 days or$__ per week; exercisable no later than 12 months after the airdate of the final episode of the production. The quote confitmation containing the publisher's requested dollar amounts for each type of media and/or option request (this is an area of negotiation between the patiies) is then retumed to the producer via email or fax and is usually valid for ninety days. If the song is actually used in the show, the producers send a confirmation to the publisher with a request for a formal license to be issued. The request is many times sent shortly after the episode has been broadcast. The license is then issued; it is signed by both patiies; and the fees are paid to the music publisher who shares the monies with the songwriter per the tetms of the music publishing agreement. Obviously ifthere are options in the agreement, the fees for the various options will be paid as the options are exercised. 2. The Actual Television Series Synchronization License The actual television synchronization license is usually not more than a 5 page contract which covers such areas as the series name, episode number or episode name, the title, writer(s) and publisher(s) of the composition, as well as their performance right affiliation (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, SOCAN, PRS for Music, APRA, etc.), the territmy of distribution, the term/duration of the license agreement, the nature of the use in the episode, the approved licensed media, the license fee as well as option fees, if applicable, domestic and foreign performance licensing issues and procedures, assignment of rights, ownership watTanties and representations, indemnifications issues, cure provisions, remedies and goveming law. In addition, the license agreement provides that the show's producer will send the music publisher a copy of the music cue sheet for the episode usually within sixty (60) days of the broadcast of the episode. This is vitally important since the music cue sheet describes how each piece of music (songs, score, and theme) was used in the episode. ii The infmmation on these music cue sheets fmms the basis on which writers, composers, and music publishers are paid by the performance right societies around the world for broadcast and/or digital transmission of the series, so it is essential to review these cue sheets to make sure that they contain the correct information. Since timing and how music is used in an episode dictates for many entities how the royalties are calculated, review by the music publisher and/or songwriter (and, if applicable, correction of any error) is an essential element in making sure that royalties are calculated correctly. 3. Income Opp01tunities After The Series' Broadcast Because of Glee's popularity, there are a number of income producing areas that come into existence as a direct consequence of the episode being broadcast. For example, there are digital track downloads, album sales, ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC songwriter and publisher performance royalties for airings of the program in the U.S., foreign performance royalties for broadcast of the show outside of the U.S., and ringtones, among others. A. Popular U.S. Digital Track Downloads "Teenage Dream" (Katy Peny) "Don't Stop Believin" (Journey) "Toxic" (Britney Spears) "Empire State of Mind" (Jay-Z) "Poker Face" (Lady Gaga) "Hello, Goodbye" (The Beatles) "Like A Virgin" (Madonna) Since the Glee cast versions are available for download from iTunes, many of the songs sung during the episode generate immediate download sales during the first week after the broadcast of between 50,000 to over 200,000 per song ("Teenage Dream" which achieved #1 on the SoundScan digital song chatts being in the latter categ01y).iii In the United States, the music publisher will be paid a 9.1 cent statut01y mechanical royalty for evety download sale, resulting in from $4,550 to over $18,200 in music publisher/writer royalties per composition for the initial one week alone (these monies are known as mechanical royalty income). This statut01y mechanical royalty rate is the result of a 2008 Copyright Royalty Board decision and is effective through 20 12.iv B. U.S. Album Sales Glee: The Music Glee: Journey To Regionals Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna In addition to the individual track downloads, large numbers of Glee albums are sold both physically and digitally. These album sales, in many cases, generate 9.1 cents for each song contained on the album in the United States.

  • A Brief History of the Morehouse College Glee Club
    A Brief History of the Morehouse College Glee Club The Morehouse College Glee Club is the premier singing organization of Morehouse College, traveling all over the country and the world, demonstrating excellence not only in choral performance but also in discipline, dedication, and brotherhood. Through its tradition the Glee Club has an impressive history and seeks to secure its future through even greater accomplishments, continuing in this tradition through the dedication and commitment of its members and the leadership that its directors have provided throughout the years. It is the mission of the Morehouse College Glee Club to maintain a high standard of musical excellence. In 1911, Morehouse College, then under the name of Atlanta Baptist College, had a music professor named Georgia Starr. She served the College from 1903-1905 and again from 1908- 1911. Mr. Kemper Harreld, who officially founded the Morehouse College Glee Club, assumed leadership when he joined the College’s music faculty in the fall of 1911. Mr. Harreld became both, Chair of the Music Department and Director of the Glee Club. After faithfully serving for forty-two years, he retired in 1953. Mr. Harreld was responsible for beginning the Glee Club’s strong legacy of excellence that has since been passed down to all members of the organization. The Glee Club’s history continues in 1953 with the second director, Wendell Phillips Whalum, Sr., '52. Dr. Whalum was a prized student of Kemper Harreld. He served as Student Director during his tenure in the Glee Club. Dr. Whalum, was more commonly known as "Doc", and served Morehouse College and the Glee Club with the continued tradition of excellence through expanded repertoire and national and international exposure throughout his tenure at the College.

As television must always create its spaces and places on the screen, what, then, is the significance of the varying emphases as well as the commonalities constructed in televisual high school settings in UK, US, and Japanese television shows? This master’s thesis considers how fictional televisual high schools both contest and construct national identity. In order to do this, it posits the existence of the televisual school story, a descendant of the literary school story. It then compares the formal and narrative ways in which Glee (2009-2015), Hex (2004-2005), and Ouran koukou hosutobu (2006) deploy space and place to create identity on the screen. In particular, it examines how heteronormativity and gender roles affect the abilities of characters to move through spaces, across boundaries, and gain secure places of their own. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgement v Introduction Orientation 1 Space and Place in Schools 5 Schools on TV 11 Schools on TV from Japan, 12 the U.S., and the U.K.

  • (PUGC), Princeton's Oldest and Most
    FACTSHEET December 2012 The Princeton University Glee Club (PUGC), Princeton's oldest and most prestigious choir, was founded in 1874 by Andrew Fleming West '74, the first Dean of the Graduate College and continues to be the premier vocal ensemble at Princeton University. WHY IS IT CALLED A 'GLEE CLUB'? The name 'Glee Club' comes from 18th Century England – specifically from Harrow School (where the Glee Club's current director was educated!). The term referred then to a small group of men singing parlour songs, folk songs and other ditties in close harmony, normally without accompaniment. The early American Glee Clubs were based on this model but have since exploded in to the large ensembles we now find at many Ivy League schools. At Princeton we keep the name 'Glee Club' out of reverence for this tradition. WHO IS THE DIRECTOR? Gabriel Crouch has been the director of musical and choral performance at Princeton University and the director of the Princeton University Glee Club since 2010. Before his current post, Mr. Crouch was a member of the world renowned British vocal ensemble, the King’s Singers. In 2005, Mr. Crouch left the King’s Singers to accept the position as head of the choral program at DePauw University until joining the faculty at Princeton. Mr. Crouch holds a degree from the University of Cambridge where he completed a choral scholarship at Trinity College. HOW LARGE IS THE GLEE CLUB? The precise number of the Glee Club fluctuates from anywhere between 60 and 80 members. Currently, there are around 80 students who are current members of Glee Club as well as a piano accompanist who is also a student.

  • Queer Identities and Glee
    IDENTITY AND SOLIDARITY IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES: QUEER IDENITIES AND GLEE Katie M. Buckley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music August 2014 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Kara Attrep Megan Rancier © 2014 Katie Buckley All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Glee, a popular FOX television show that began airing in 2009, has continuously pushed the limits of what is acceptable on American television. This musical comedy, focusing on a high school glee club, incorporates numerous stereotypes and real-world teenage struggles. This thesis focuses on the queer characteristics of four female personalities: Santana, Brittany, Coach Beiste, and Coach Sue. I investigate how their musical performances are producing a constructive form of mass media by challenging hegemonic femininity through camp and by producing relatable queer female role models. In addition, I take an ethnographic approach by examining online fan blogs from the host site Tumblr. By reading the blogs as a digital archive and interviewing the bloggers, I show the positive and negative effects of an online community and the impact this show has had on queer girls, allies, and their worldviews. iv This work is dedicated to any queer human being who ever felt alone as a teenager. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my teacher and advisor, Dr. Meizel, for all of her support through the writing of this thesis and for always asking the right questions to keep me thinking. I would also like to thank Dr.

When they are given roles in film and television, those roles often maintain the stereotypical ideology which has been dominant for decades. Asian American stereotypes in these media range from hard-working and servile to masters of the martial arts and often put forth a misguided or exaggerated impression of what Asian Americans are like as a group. I argue that these stereotypical representations of Asian Americans manifest themselves in viewers’ minds and affect the way they view the minority group far after the they power off their television sets.

Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University. The use of language by individuals is influenced by many factors. Gender is one factor that influences the use of language. In this research, gender is seen to be different from sex. It is seen as a social construction rather than as a fixed category. As a result, women and men do not stick to one language style but change it based on their social context. Therefore, the researcher was interested in analyzing the women’s language used by a feminine man named Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1. In conducting the research, a research question was formulated: What women’s language features does Kurt Hummel use in his speech in Glee Television Series Season 1? The research was qualitative research in which discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data.
