 Let's Be Happy!

Hi everyone,
After ages trawling through the internet looking for the arrangement of let's be happy by Martin Frost I got bored and decided to transcribe it and then arrange it for 2 violins and a clarinet.

Does anyone know how I can post attachments onto the board?

Do you have a server to upload it to?

Dropbox is a possibility

Martin Fröst and the composer Giora Feidman are both living musicians. This piece is covered by international copyright laws. Do you have permission to arrange it?

You're quite right about copyright - however I don't know if Feidman actually composed it or if it's a Traditional song so where do I start with that?

This is a Klezmer Classic called Freilach #5 or Kamenetzer Bulgar. Here's the lead sheet http://www.schoellerfamily.org/scores/pdf/freylekhs_05.leadsheet.pdf

To play Fröst version you have to play the sound file in software that allows you to slow down the music without changing pitch, like smart music or several other programs (some free). Then you can transcribe it, i've did. Jazz musicians have done this for decades and I think it's allowed. To publish it or post it on this board you have to get the copyright.

I was under the impression if you can *listen* to it, and transcribe it, it's fair game. No?

What really confuses me is how there are many websites with guitar tabs for most 'pop' songs however these are allowed? How come that is Ok and transcribing other music isn't? Music copyright really confuses me...

Copy right laws are generally confusing, but most of the time you won't get into any really trouble as long as you give credit to the original composer. The worst that will is the publisher will have the music taken down.

Different publishers handle things in different ways. Much of the time, the person who violates a copyright online is simply ignorant of the law and, if asked politely, will promptly remove the pirated material. That's been my experience with my own copyrighted words and music. If it's a magazine article or something else with a formal print publication, I alert my editor and s/he deals with it.

But I work for small press publications where we're low-key about that stuff. Don't ever reprint or adapt from something published by a famous author or one of the big conglomerates or else the lawyers will pounce with all their claws out. If you're curious about the extent to which major copyright holders will go, take a look at the recent and current Sherlock Holmes litigation:

Chris Redmond, "Sherlockian.Net: Copyright"
http://www.sherlockian.net/acd/

Leslie Klinger's Home Page
http://free-sherlock.com/

I wouldn't expect a music publisher to bare the fangs to anywhere near the extent of the Sherlockian mob, but anybody who doubts that publishers do get serious about copyright will find a cautionary tale on those sites and the links from them.
