Free Sheet Music To Xerox AND Perform


QUESTION; Are the Joe Johnson arrangements 'totally free', like are the original works public domain? Does the BHS or anyone else maintain a sync license for them if they are performed or recorded? Most such arrangements on the BHS website are only 'free' to xerox not to perform or record. Joe's arrangements say on the bottom of the first page "This arrangement may be freely copied, performed, and recorded by any quartets or choruses for non-commercial use only. For any commercial use please contact the arranger." But I want to make sure when it says free that it's not just referring to paying the arranger but the copyright and any fees for like Performance, Mechanical, and Sync Licenses as well. The arrangements that do list the composer's year of death suggests they are public domain.

ANSWER by Joe Johnson; The notice at the bottom of the first page means exactly what it says. These arrangements are intended for use in church worship services and chapter shows, and are indeed free in every respect, including recording licenses. I have selected only songs that are public domain for this specific reason. Regarding commercial use, if you wish to include any of these arrangements on a CD that is intended for sale, I would request that any percentage of the proceeds that would be due to me as the copyright owner be donated to your church or any worthy charity.

http://barbershop.org/document-center/category/21-free-joe-johnson-arrangements.html


QUESTION; on Joe's Contest Music page some song explicitly say they are free while others do have fees via Joe or others with "!" It also says all the sacred music on his Show Music page are free. Please elaborate.

ANSWER by Joe Johnson; If they are not specifically listed as free, there is an arranger's fee of $60. The ones without the (!) are either public domain or my original songs and may be ordered directly from me. The ones with the (!) are under copyright and must be ordered from the Barbershop Harmony Society. For my free arrangements you don't need sync, performance, and mechanical licenses because I, as the copyright owner, grant them to you automatically by virtue of the statement in the copyright notice. For my stock arrangements without the (!) the licenses would be negotiated with me on an individual basis. For the ones with the (!), the licenses have to be cleared with the publishers, but I don't know whether the Society handles that or you would have to do it on your own.

Free Sheet Music To Xerox Only (not to perform)


Although the BHS Barbershop Harmony Society website barbershop.org offers some music (Free and Easy program) free to download and free to xerox the sheet music including the the Heritage of Harmony Songbook, it's NOT free to perform for a show or to record.

Joe Liles BHS Music Publications Editor, "All of the 'old songs' (ORIGINAL compositions made before 1923) that show BHS or SPEBSQSA as the copyright owner/holder of the ARRANGEMENT, those songs are in Public Domain (no copyright fees for the ORIGINAL composition), but the ARRANGEMENT (made from the original and into the barbershop style in 1923 or after) is copyright protected in the U.S.A. This includes the songs in the Heritage of Harmony Songbook and the 12 Barberpole Cat songs. These ARRANGEMENTS are not PD (Public Domain). They are owned by SPEBSQSA (BHS). Although we have put them in the Free 'n' Easy list (free to XEROX ONLY), any recordings (or show performances) made of them will require a mechanical or synchronization license from the Society. Unfortunately, there are a few songs in the Heritage of Harmony Songbook that are in Public Domain in the U.S., but are still copyright protected in other countries, including Canada.

*BHS Synchronization Fee Exception, "The Society will allow their copyrighted arrangements (DVD/video/audio) to be used as promotional materials on chapter or quartet websites, but you must ask first. Determine the copyright holder at the bottom of the first page of music."

*Webmaster note: I've been trying to research the Heritage of Harmony public domain original compositions before the BHS re-arranged them. Near as I can tell a lot of these songs were not in ttbb but the melody sung to piano or ukulele accompaniment. Is this right? Did barbershoppers only woodshed from these songs then and they weren't arranged for barbershop till after the Public Domain end date of 1923? Here's a few classic examples...

You're the Flower of My Heart, Sweet Adeline 1903 (original non-barbershop)

Voice Health


Sometimes while singing my voice would suddenly get all 'froggy', especially mornings. It would slip into these weird buzzing, creaking, sputtering sounding voice breaks at any pitch range. 3 main factors appear to be mild allergies, silent acid reflux, and dry air. For general allergies to help with post nasal drip I use Clairton-D or Wal-itin D (with antihistamine). Sinus headaches I use a generic 2 in 1 sinus headache and allergy medicine. For post nasal drip and hydration I use nasal irrigation with Neti Pot using Jala Neti Stage 2 technique. For silent reflux I cut out the energy drinks and use an antacid like Maalox. If my voice is still buzzing and sputtering I use the Entertainer's Secret Throat Spray. See link for full story.
