THE SOCIETY OF COMPOSERS & LYRICISTS (SCL) is the non-profit and primary organization for professional film, television and video game composers and lyricists, with a distinguished 60-year history in the fine art of creating music for motion pictures, television and video games. The predecessor organization, the Screen Composers Association, began in 1945 with such legendary icons as Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Dimitri Tiomkin and David Raksin among others. Current SCL Members include the top creative professionals whose experience and expertise is focused on many of the creative, technological, legal, newsworthy and pressing issues of the film/television/game music industry today.

The SCL gratefully acknowledges the continuing support of our members along with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.
