Annie Merle Music is a music publishing company I started years ago to handle the songs that I write and co-write. In the world of song writing, business works like this: Every time a song is recorded or sheet music for it is printed, the company that records or prints that song is required by law to pay a fee. That fee is paid to the publishing company that owns the copyright for the song. The fee is split 50/50 between the publishing company and the writer(s). This whole arrangement can get more detailed, but in general, that is how it works. That is why I started my own publishing company. I don’t own every song I have ever written, but I own my portion of many of them.

I named the company after my mother, Annie Merle, who lives in Mobile, Alabama and absolutely deserves the title Best Mother of All Time.

Here are some samples of some of the songs in the Annie Merle Music catalogue. If you like to know the story behind the song, check out Bev’s Music. If you would like to license one of these songs, please contact Melissa Wald at Copyright Solutions.

Most of these songs are available in print, too. If you are interested in buying sheet music for a song, search halleonard.com or sheetmusicplus for individual titles.
