Pennsylvania is in Yellow Phase

MMF staff will be onsite at the Bethlehem MMF office on a limited basis; the building will remain closed to the public until Northampton County (PA) is permitted to enter the “Green” Phase.

“All businesses in North Carolina are strongly encouraged to continue directing employees to telework, if possible. Additionally, non-essential travel and in-person meetings should be avoided.”

  • Telework Must Continue Where Feasible
  • All must wear face-coverings in public
  • Businesses Must Follow Business and Building Safety Orders“


June 10 Winston-Salem Journal Health Report on Forsyth County (NC) includes:

  • A record number of people hospitalized for COVID-19 in Forsyth Co.
  • Forsyth’s rate of infection & hospitalizations have risen steadily since mid-May (we entered Phase 2 on May 22)
  • Forsyth’s infection rate per 100,000 people is higher than the state’s, and has been so since May 18
  • 90 new cases were identified in Forsyth County, yesterday

And in other reports

  • NC is one of 9 states where hospitalizations have increased since the Memorial Day holiday (Washington Post)
  • NC is one of 14 states that have experienced their highest 7-day average of new cases (The Guardian)
  • Healthline and the New York Times also show NC as among the states with increasing case count and rate – more than can be accounted for just by increased testing

Staying in touch,
while keeping our distance…

Tuesday, May 19 & Friday, May 22 UPDATES

MMF will continue to conduct business online and by email, although we may begin to be physically present at the Winston-Salem MMF offices on an increasing basis. The PA office remains closed.


Covid-19 Considerations for the Foundation, as a business:

Following CDC guidance, both NC and PA are continuing restrictions on groups and businesses. NC is entering Phase Two of a loosening of restrictions with more businesses opening, with guidelines and limitations.

Under Phase Two, restaurants and bars would be allowed to serve a limited number of on-site customers, and entertainment venues could reopen with reduced capacity. More people would be allowed to gather publicly, and playgrounds could reopen. (Raleigh News & Observer)

The number of new daily cases continues to climb in North Carolina but other key trends, such as hospitalizations and the percentage of positive tests, have remained steady or are falling.

Thursday, March 26 UPDATE

Following CDC guidance, both NC and PA are increasing restrictions on groups and businesses in an effort to limit the spread of Covid-19 virus, so we will not be physically present at the Winston-Salem MMF offices after 4:30pm Friday, 3/27/20. more info

Monday, March 16, 2020

On Saturday, March 14, 2020, North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper, issued an executive order prohibiting all gatherings of over 100 people, to reduce the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). In light of this recommendation, Moravian Music Foundation (MMF), will postpone and reschedule some upcoming events and performances. As new dates are confirmed, the MMF will make public announcements and post them here, on the website, and on Facebook.

The Archives in Bethlehem is closed for the remainder of March, so MMF’s Northern Province office phone will not be active. The staff of MMF is available by phone and email using the contacts on our STAFF page.

For now, the Winston-Salem office is open, but we encourage visitors to call to discuss needs and requests and to order products online. We will be happy to reduce shipping costs, if that is a deterrent, and will institute an easy pick-up policy with “safe distancing,” i.e, products ordered may be picked up from the southwest porch of the Archie K Davis Center, behind Cedarhyrst (Provincial offices) in Old Salem.

We are in dialogue with the Interprovincial Board of Communication (IBOC) and the Board of Cooperative Ministries (BCM) to provide resources for churches moving to livestream-at-home worship services. Please visit moravianmusic.org and moravian.org for links as these unique resources become available.

While lectures, workshops, concerts are on hold, please visit the VIDEO page to view concerts and lectures. Abundant topics of interest are also provided throughout the website, but especially at NOTES FROM NOLA and GEMEINKAT: KEEPING TRACK OF THE DETAILS.

Lastly, MMF is planning a virtual meeting(s) in March to replace the biennial Board of Trustees spring meeting in Bethlehem, PA.

Peace and blessings to those on the front lines, those at risk, infirmed, isolated, or separated from loved ones.

Please let us know how we may help.

A recent inquiry to MMF - Subject: Copyright/Streaming

 

Dear MMF,

I have a question about copyright and streaming. We have CCLI license and streaming license at my church, but it does not cover many pieces for organ. Would the ASCAP license provide that protection for us to stream and include copyrighted organ music? I’ve read their website, and it seems like it would.  https://www.ascap.com/music-users/types/church-or-ministry

Thanks!

____________________________________________________

Dear Worship Leader,

We have been instructing folks to follow CCLI and OneLicense guidelines, which, as you discovered, unfortunately, rarely cover instrumental/keyboard music.

Yes, it appears as though ASCAP offers a “WorshipCast” streaming license, which is set up in much the same manner as CCLI and OneLicense licenses – i.e., the fee structure is based on worship attendance:

https://apps.christiancopyrightsolutions.com/purchase-license.aspx?svc=wc

A quick click brought up this fee structure:
1 – 199 (in attendance): $284.00
200 – 499 (in attendance): $424.00 (obviously it goes up from here)

Some further good news – the WorshipCast license offered above is controlled by Christian Copyright Solutions (a division of CCLI, and it appears as though purchase of this license would allow you to broadcast both ASCAP and BMI titles, opening up even more possibilities.

I don’t think, however, that this license includes SESAC titles; thus, if you wished to perform anything under the SESAC umbrella (Dan Gawthrop, for instance), you would need to approach that entity directly for a license:

https://www.sesac.com/#!/

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Blessings to you in your music ministry!

Archie K Davis Center

Construction began on the building in the fall of 1999, and the facility was completed and occupied in July 2001. In September 2001, the building was dedicated as the Archie K. Davis Center. More about the man, the building, and a quick, visual tour of our beautiful home.
