proper place for arrangement of traditional piece using a less known alternate title?

Hi folks! I just finished an arrangement of Down in the Valley to Pray. It is an older variation of the spiritual most people know as Down in the River to Pray. Both the tune and lyrics are slightly different, but only slightly. I arranged the oldest known published version of the melody, printed 2 ...

Re: Best copyright type for self-published work

Yes, I've had another reply from the folks in the licensing department that confirms that they would not approve a CPDL license, since it allows for open access, and would only allow the content to be used on restricted access sites. Sigh...

Hi folks, I've just finished composing a choral piece that uses a quote from a book that is still in copyright as one section of the lyrics.

Re: Style guides for choral music?

Hi Ed, If you haven't found it already, I highly recommend buying a copy of "Behind Bars" by Elaine Gould. She's the current senior editor at Faber Music and the book evolved from all her little post-it notes and binders of instructions for the editorial staff there. It is an absolute door...

Re: Proper citation style for public domain text

Thank you for your input. From my understanding, it is considered good form to cite a source, even if the work is in the public domain, so that interested parties can go find the context of the quote (in the case of excerpts from longer works), and to hold us all accountable for keeping spelling and...

Proper citation style for public domain text

I'm currently composing a setting of Emily Dickinson's "To Make a Prairie" for SATB choir. Harvard University Press, which holds the copyright for many of her works has assured me that this poem has indeed passed out of copyright and is in the public domain. Is there a proper format for in...

Need a 2018 editions page?

I just ran the add works form for a new piece, but am getting an error because there isn't a 2018 editions page for it to go to yet. I don't want to go mucking around and break anything, so I'll leave it to the editors. The new piece in question is "Semantic" by Maggie Furtak. Do I need to...

Adding a new lyricist page

Hello patient moderators of CPDL, I have just finished adding a new work with a text by Pliny the Elder (Plinius Secundus) from his "Natural History" to CPDL, and he didn't seem to have a lyricist page yet. I've done my best to start one, but I'm not sure of the best way to deal with a few...
