Hans Zimmer Signs With Cherry Lane Music Publishing
Cherry Lane Music Publishing Company Inc., publishing administrator to film companies such as The Weinstein Company, DreamWorks Animation SKG, DreamWorks Pictures, Lakeshore Entertainment and Walden Media, has signed film composer Hans Zimmer to a worldwide, long-term publishing administration agreement.
The parties were brought together by Cherry Lane joint venture partner Joel Sill. The veteran music publisher, record producer and music supervisor (Easy Rider, Forrest Gump, Munich, Bobby) notes, “I have had the good fortune to know Hans as a friend and as a professional. I watch and listen in amazement as he reinvents himself for each project…
Hans Zimmer you are a top composer
I guess this means that we’ll be getting more piano music sheets of Hans’ music.
Peter Primont, CEO of Cherry Lane, remarked: "Hans Zimmer is one of the most well-respected and distinguished film composers of all time and a pioneer in his field. Cherry Lane is proud to now represent his diverse work and we look forward to a successful relationship with Hans for years to come."
Does this mean that they are going to release more of his music, like expanded or complete and so on??
The studios own all the rights to the scores and how they are released. I don’t think Hans has been working long enough to be getting FSM and Intrada type releases yet. I’ve never even heard of Cherry Lane. Maybe a music publisher secures a record label for a score release?
what does this mean???
So, what does a music publishing company actually do for a composer?
Good question. ;)
