Where to Stream or Purchase The King's Court Music

Updated

The King's Court (thekingscourt.com) points visitors to several listening and purchase channels: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube, Pandora, 7digital, and iTunes for digital albums and singles, plus print-on-demand songbooks through Author Central. The site's own directory is the starting point — it lists these links under "Listen & Purchase Digital Albums" and "Author Central Print On Demand Songbooks." Free PDF sheet music is a separate offering on the same site and is not the same as buying an album or songbook.

What the site offers

The King's Court describes itself as a global resource for church music, established online in 2000, featuring the music of songwriter Will Goldstein, with Jeanne Brickman collaborating on musicals based on the Old and New Testaments and a third title, The King's Highway. The site states it has a licensing agreement with CCLI for collecting royalties on usage.

Listening vs. streaming vs. purchasing

These are different actions, and the site treats them as such:

  • Listening/streaming — Pandora Radio and the YouTube channels let you hear music without buying it. The site lists Pandora and YouTube Music as listening destinations.
  • Downloading digital audio — the site says you can "listen, stream, and download Christian digital albums and singles" via the linked stores. Whether a given store lets you download versus stream depends on that store's terms, not on The King's Court.
  • Purchasing — the site's pricing signals reference "purchase," and the directory labels the album section "Listen & Purchase Digital Albums." Specific prices are not stated on the page, so check each store's listing for current pricing.
  • Free sheet music — the PDF songbooks are described as free downloads on the site. This is separate from buying albums or print songbooks.

How to find a specific item

  1. Go to thekingscourt.com and open the site directory.
  2. For recorded music, choose "Listen & Purchase Digital Albums" and pick your preferred store (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube, Pandora, 7digital, or iTunes). Expect each store to show its own availability and pricing.
  3. For printed songbooks, follow the "Author Central Print On Demand Songbooks" link.
  4. For free lead-sheet PDFs, use the "Download Sheet Music (Pdf songbooks)" link in the directory.
  5. For teaching content, go to YouTube @thekingscourt; the directory also lists two YouTube Music channels and a separate video link.

Expected result: you land on the store or channel page for the specific album, songbook, or video rather than a single in-site player. The site functions as a directory of external links, so playback and checkout happen on the destination platform.

Common snags

  • Link labels are the map. The site organizes content by directory links (Songwriters, Photos, Bio's, Published & Unpublished Works, and so on). If a link seems missing, check the full directory rather than a single section.
  • Free vs. paid. Free PDF songbooks do not imply free albums or print books; those go through stores and print-on-demand.
  • Church use and licensing. The site notes its CCLI agreement for royalty collection and points to CCLI reports and lyrics. Churches planning to use the music in services should confirm their own CCLI coverage and report usage through the provided CCLI reporting link.
  • Platform availability varies. The site lists many stores, but catalog completeness on each one is set by that platform; if a title isn't on one store, try another from the list.

For the free sheet music specifically, the site's download section is the direct route; for everything else, treat the directory as the hub and follow the labeled link for the format you want.
