You have some songs on paper They have been composed and performed but the music is not written How do you rigister a copyright Do you need to write the music before applying for copyrite?

First, you do not need to apply for a copyright unless you plan to enforce it; your songs were copyrighted automatically the moment they were written on paper. The "music", if any, would have its own copyright once it is composed and recorded, whether it is put onto paper or not. In fact, each new sound recording of a new performance of the music is a slightly different "creation" and would have its own "sound recording" copyright, which is owned by the performers or producer.

Most classical music is in the public domain, which means that any copyrights have expired. However, the recordings of classical music are usually copyrighted, if recorded after 1972, which means that use requires royalty payments, in most cases. Sound recordings (in the USA) prior to 1972 have no federal copyright protection. Edit: Although Gershwin has been dead for some time, some of his music still attracts copyright fees.
