The owner of the world’s largest Christian music publishing catalog has closed its business, citing the effects of COVID-19.
Brentwood Benson Music—a storied business based in Nashville that reportedly owned some 60,000 copyrights—announced on its website that it would cease operations by the end of 2021.
“As we have all experienced over the past 2 years, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been extraordinary. The challenges presented to those of us charged with developing resources for church choirs and orchestras resulted in market realities that have become unmanageable,” the statement read.
