Thanks for the useful info Harry. Will contact the publisher and hope I can
get a hold of the music.
Anyone know if this piece has been performed in Canada before? Somehow I
suspect not but could be wrong.
Best regards.
Isaac

Dear Isaac,
Here’s a response taken directly from the MPA’s website (Music
Publishers’ Association.)
“How do I get permission to make photocopies of "out of print" works or
arrangements of copyrighted works?
When a copyrighted work goes out of print and becomes generally
unavailable to the public, the fact that it is "out of print" does not
imply that it may be reproduced in any manner without first receiving
permission from the copyright owner. As long as the work is under
copyright, permission to reproduce the work must always be obtained.”
So you’ve got to ask whoever the publisher is. Sometimes then can make
for you what is called an “archive” copy. It’s becoming easier and less
expensive to do these days thanks to digital scanning and printing, but
it still is rather labor intensive, so the cost is usually a bit more
than when the piece in question was actually in print, but this method
is totally legal. And, if enough people were to do this, it just might
make the publisher rethink their decision to make the work POP, and
initiate a legitimate reprint, i.e. a regular printing as opposed to
print on demand.
Now if they don’t want to make an archive copy for you, they might give
you permission in the form of a letter to copy one at a library, if you
were able to find one. There may or may not be a charge for this, in
addition to the actual copying, but probably not.
