I’m an arranger of traditional works. Should I register them with IMRO?

You must register every song, tune or melody that you are writing, co-writing or that is traditionally arranged by you. If you fail to do this IMRO will be unable to identify the work as yours at the time of distributing royalties. It is extremely important that you register every song and that you do not exclude your arrangements of traditional works. Traditional works arranged by you are afforded exactly the same standard of payment as those that you have composed.

If you do not register these titles, you will lose out on royalties that should be paid to you. Please register all traditional arrangements that you are performing live or that are being broadcast on radio or TV as soon as possible.
