Re: [Finale] O.T. Copyright issues on Choral Wikipedia / cpdl.org

2009-10-26 Thread John Howell

Hi, Noel, and thanks for your quick reply.

Kim Patrick said absolutely nothing about graphical copyright, so 
I'm afraid your entire argument falls down on that basis alone.  If 
the pirated edition was in fact under a lawful copyright in ANY 
country signatory to the applicable international treaties, it is 
under copyright in ALL such countries, including the U.S.


Yes, you are absolutely correct that a piece once in the public 
domain cannot be subsequently re-copyrighted (i.e., it cannot become 
the exclusive property of ANYONE).  And also that it is any and all 
new intellectual content that is subject to the new copyright in the 
new edition, which can, of course, include MUCH more than simple page 
layout.  And while you seem to consider a continuo realization below 
contempt, it is in fact new intellectual content and has nothing to 
do with graphical copyright (which does not and never has existed 
under U.S. law).  I learned this when a very fine keyboardist we 
worked with at Indiana University graduated and was hired by the 
Chicago Symphony because he could play from the original figured 
bass, and they did not have to pay royalties on the COPYRIGHTED 
modern realizations on the music they played.


It really bothers me to think that your attitude toward copyright 
reflects the attitude of everyone involved with CPDL, because it is a 
Napster kind of attitude, and CPDL is MUCH too valuable a resource to 
allow it to be shut down for failure to understand and enforce 
copyright laws and to dismiss them out of hand.


Just my opinion, of course, as yours is just yours.  And no, I'm not 
an attorney, just a musician who tries to keep up.

Friends,

First, I am a global moderator on the CPDL forums, and have posted 
a recommendation in the moderator's forum to take the page down, 
though because of copyright violation, but rather because it has 
been customary to post only complete works on CPDL that only 
complete works to be posted. Second, while I am not an attorney in 
any jurisdiction, I have read the parts statutes of US code, and 
Code of Federal regulations related to copyright, and some of the 
relevant parts of the Statutes governing copyright in the UK.


The issue of copyright on the page is a somewhat complex issue. In 
the UK, where the edition was published, there recognition of a 
graphical copyright, which protects the appearance on a printed page 
of a particular work. Publishers may obtain graphical copyright on 
items in the public domain for a limited period (last I 
investigated, this was 25 years) protecting the appearance of the 
work on the printed page. Thus, if someone in the UK makes a 
photocopy of a work protected by a graphical copyright, the 
photocopy is infringing. However, as I understand it, a public 
domain work protected by graphical copyright is set in a manner that 
does not replicate the original exactly does not infringe the 
original copyright. This would seem to be what happened here, where 
the figured bass was replaced by a realization, however crude that 
realization may, or may not be.


However, US law (where--to the best of my knowledge, the CPDL 
servers are domiciled) makes no provision for graphical copyright, 
and to the best of my knowledge, graphical copyrights from other 
jurisdictions are not enforced; US law applies only to new editorial 
content, not layout issues. A collection of public domain works may 
be subject to copyright, as it has been held that the act of making 
the collection constitutes new intellectual content, however, even 
in the case of a copyright collection, the individual works 
contained in the collection are in the public domain.


I don't see anything in the page, either. to automatically suggest 
that the contributor of the page, even if he was in a jurisdiction 
which recognized a UK graphical copyright, was necessarily trying to 
infringe that copyright, if in fact the copyright exists..

Yes, this works.  Simply click multiple libraries and then save with  
an inclusive name and load that new library.  I imagine this has  
been around for several versions, but it didn't occur to me to try it  
this way (old habits die hard).  I seem to remember that this  
functionality was announced upon its inclusion in whatever version it  
appeared, but I don't remember any instruction about how to do it.   
Perhaps it seemed so self evident to the programmers that they didn't  
think it needed an instruction, but I have been exceeding dumb about  
this.


Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck -

They are combined when you do a Save Library command. You can  
select multiple libraries and save them together. Then you will be  
able to load them into other documents as one composite library. I  
think it would be hard to remember what you included when you saved  
the library, though. It might be best to start with an empty file,  
load in the individual libraries you want to combine, and save them  
together on a project-specific basis.


Let us know how this worked out.

Re: [Finale] O.T. Copyright issues on Choral Wikipedia / cpdl.org

2009-10-26 Thread Noel Stoutenburg

Dr. Howell,

I know that Kim did not mention a graphical copyright, and in 
introducing the concept to the discussion I failed to use the proper 
term for the concept I meant, which is typographical copyright. Many 
jurisdictions, including the UK, where the company is domiciled which is 
claiming infringement of copyright, make provision for this concept, 
wherein the actual layout of content on a printed page can be 
copyrighted, in their copyright law (cf. 
http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p01_uk_copyright_law, 
particularly paragraph 3 item v, and paragraph 6 item iv), but the US 
does not recognize the concept of typographical copyright, whether the 
copyright subsists in other countries or not.  Your assertion


a lawful copyright in ANY country signatory to the applicable 
international treaties, it is under copyright in ALL such countries, 
including the U.S.


does not seem to be accurate, according 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_the_shorter_term#Situation_in_the_United_States, 
part of which quotes 17 USC:



/No right or interest in a work eligible for protection under this
title may be claimed by virtue of, or in reliance upon; the
provisions of the Berne Convention, or the adherence of the United
States thereto. Any rights in a work eligible for protection under
this title that derive from this title, other Federal or State
statutes, or the common law, shall not be expanded or reduced by
virtue of, or in reliance upon, the provisions of the Berne
Convention, or the adherence of the United States thereto./ -- 17
USC 104(c)

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/United_States_Code/Title_17/Chapter_1/Section_104



Under the relevant provisions of 17 USC, my understanding agrees with 
yours that a piece of music in the public domain cannot be 
re-copyrighted; however, I understand that the efforts an editor applies 
to a work otherwise in the public comain in the US including, but not 
limited to, correcting mistakes, adding performance and interpretive 
instructions,  adding underlay missing or incorrectly placed in the 
original, constitutes original work of authorship and is eligible for 
protection, even though the music itself to which the editorial content 
is applied is in the public domain. The issue of what constitutes 
original authorship is not, as far as I can tell, completely settled. I 
tend to doubt that merely changing clefs, key signatures, or durations 
(which seems to be the only basis for claim of copyright in some 
editions I have seen) would be found to be sufficiently original to 
earn a claim of copyright. I suspect that we would both agree that works 
by Charpentier, who died 305 years ago, are in the public domain in and 
of themselves, so the validigy of the claim of copyright on the edition 
under discussion would depend upon the amount of editorial content 
involved in the edition. I don't have any information on how much 
original authorship there is in the first page of the edition in question. 

Finally, I think my attitude does largely coincide with the attitudes of 
the administrators at CPDL. That attitude that is that any score hosted 
on the CPDL website which is found, upon investigation, to infringe 
copyright, is removed from CPDL. [NB: besides hosting scores directly, 
CPDL provides links to scores on other sites not under its control, and 
cannot remove scores on such sites]. But my attitude is also informed by 
the personal experience that a claim of infringement by a publisher is 
not ipso facto proof of infringement. I think most of the administrators 
of CPDL will agree that whether the specific score in question is 
infringing or not, that it should, and will be removed. Copyright in the 
US is an area where my view of morality and legality do not coincide 
nearly as closely as in some other areas; I think what the contributor 
of the page did is immoral, even if it were to be found that it does not 
violate copyright provisions, and is therefore legal, and I expect that 
the CPDL administrators will agree with that point of view as well.

The Charpentier situation is actually quite interesting. Facsimiles 
of the original MSS have been published recently, and so tons of 
people are producing editions from them. I'm one of them, having 
worked from the facsimile to create my own part for some of the

simple about making editions from these MSS, which are quite 
difficult to read from (mostly because of the lack of metrical 
beaming in the vocal parts). These MSS are not performance MSS, in 
mhy opinion (though I admit that everyone else in the group performed 
from photocopies of the facsimile, and I was the only one, the gamba 
player, who needed an edition, mostly because I had no free hands 
with which to turn pages!).

These absolutely lovely editions are so inexpensive that it seems 
criminal to me for anyone to not buy them if they want to use them.

It also seems criminal for someone so inept as the indivdual who 
produced the continuo realization in question here to be getting any 
credit for anything other than manifest incompetence.

The editions Dennis produces are works of art I think. They were, and
are constantly a standard I try to adhere to. Dennis spends hours
recreating those musical incipits and fonts that grace his work. And I
know Brian Clark well enough that I think he would even work out a
payment agreement with someone that COULDN'T afford to pay for a set
all at once.. He's just that nice.


Thanks,

[Finale] OT: Dies Irae

2009-10-26 Thread Matthew Hindson
Any listers know of a list of 20C works that use the Dies Irae in some form
or another?

There is Rachmaninoff, of course, and Michael Daugherty's Dead Elvis.
Also Crumb uses it now and then e.g. Black Angels, Makrokosmos II.  But any
others that come to mind? (Particularly important works?)

Penderecki: Symphony 8 - Dies Irae


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dies_Irae

The words have often been set to music as part of the Requiem  
service, originally as a sombre plainchant. It also formed part of  
the traditional Catholic liturgy of All Souls Day. Music for the  
Requiem Mass has been composed by many composers, including Wolfgang  
Amadeus Mozart as well as Hector Berlioz, Giuseppe Verdi, and Igor  
Stravinsky. The setting by Mozart, especially the first two stanzas  
(Requiem, 2nd movement), is often heard in the scores of movies and  
the musical beds of commercials (e.g. X2: X-Men United).


The traditional Gregorian melody has also been used as a musical  
quotation in a number of other classical compositions, among them:
