Oh you Joyful is an instrumental recording of the Christmas carol O du fröhliche, running just over two minutes. The melody is many centuries old and long out of copyright, but this performance is not: it is an Artyfile master recording, and that is precisely what you licence here for worldwide film and video use.
The arrangement treats the carol straight rather than reinventing it — the melody is stated clearly and warmly, at a pace that leaves room for the tune to be recognised. It is instrumental throughout, so it works as underscore beneath narration or dialogue without a vocal line pulling focus away from your own audio.
A word on rights, because carols are where this trips people up: the melody being public domain does not make a recording of it free to use. Every recording carries its own rights, and this one is cleared through Artyfile.

The track is delivered as a studio-mastered WAV. A single Artyfile Basic licence at €29.90 covers worldwide sync use for the lifetime of your production — film, YouTube, broadcast, social media, podcasts and client work — as one payment, with no subscription and no recurring fees. Artyfile administers the sync rights to its own catalogue directly, so no additional collection-society fee falls due on the licence itself, and every purchase comes with a licence certificate as documented proof of what you cleared. A public performance at a live event remains a separate matter that the venue or organiser settles in the usual way.
Artyfile registers this catalogue in YouTube Content ID under a monetize policy. Expect a routine Content ID match on an upload that uses the track — never a strike, a block, a mute or a takedown. On the Basic licence the music's advertising revenue flows into Artyfile's pool; on a Limited Edition share it flows back to the owners of the master.
If you would rather own a piece of the recording than licence it, the Limited Edition offers numbered shares in this master at €69.90 per 1% share, capped at twenty shares per track and entered in the Artyfile ownership register. Shareholders receive quarterly statements and a share of the recording's streaming revenue. Royalties depend on actual usage, are not guaranteed and may be zero.
