Larry Wright arranged that for his brother who originally sang it in their
quartet, The Sundowners.  He later sang it with Chicago News.

I believe Larry has a web site where you can purchase his arrangements.

Hi Alexander --

I read through the PowerPoint and found this at the bottom of one of the
slides:

<quote>
The "Happy Birthday" song was copyrighted in 1935. Until 2010, royalties
must be paid if it is publicly performed.
<end quote>

Thus, unless the Department of Justice (the creator of the presentation) is
behind the times, the copyright has expired.

As I posted to the group last April and again in September, even if it has
been renewed though, the 1935 copyright registration for Happy Birthday
covers only the lyrics and even that is questionable. It has been
successfully argued that just changing the person's name is enough of a
departure from the copyrighted lyrics that singing the words with any name
is not a violation of the copyright -- if, indeed, there is one. Then
there's the whole issue of what might constitute a "violation" when singing
it. Although the copyright law doesn't state actual numbers, it is
apparently okay to sing it for a small gathering (such a family members) but
not for a large gathering (such as a restaurant's patrons) without paying
the royalty. And there's also the question of whether you can sing it
without paying a royalty if you are doing so for "non-commercial" purposes.

Wikipedia's entry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You#Copyright_status
says:

<QUOTE>
Except for the splitting of the first note in the melody "Good Morning to
All" to accommodate the two syllables in the word "happy", "Happy Birthday
to You" and "Good Morning to All" are melodically identical. Precedent
(regarding works derived from public domain material, and cases comparing
two similar musical works)[citation needed] seems to suggest that the melody
used in "Happy Birthday to You" would not merit additional copyright status
for one split note. Whether or not changing the words "good morning" to
"happy birthday" should be covered by copyright is a different matter. The
words "good morning" were replaced with "happy birthday" by others than the
authors of "Good Morning to All". Regardless of the fact that "Happy
Birthday to You" infringed upon "Good Morning to All", there is one theory
that because the "Happy Birthday to You" variation was not written by the
Hills, and it was published without notice of copyright under the Copyright
Act of 1909, the 1935 registration is invalid.

Professor Robert Brauneis cited problems with the song's authorship and the
notice and renewal of the copyright, and concluded "It is almost certainly
no longer under copyright."[2] Many question the validity of the current
copyright, as the melody of the song was most likely borrowed from other
popular songs of the time, and the lyrics were improvised by a group of
five- and six-year-old children who never received any compensation
<END OF QUOTE>

Just to muddy the waters, Peter Irvine, an attorney who specializes in
music-copyright law, writes at
http://www.peterirvinelaw.com/pdf/Folk_Music_Copyright_PD.pdf:

<QUOTE>
Happy Birthday is protected by copyright and earns about $2 million in
royalties every year. The tune was composed in 1893 by sister teachers Patty
and Mildred Hill. A copyright was registered in 1935 that, with the current
extensions of duration, ensures protection for decades to come. Note that
prior to the 1976 revision of the Copyright Act, federal copyright
protection began upon publication. So even though Happy Birthday was
composed before 1923, its later date of publication with proper notice
allowed it to qualify for the CTEA term extension, and thus continued
protection. AOL Time Warner now owns the rights and earns a royalty for
every public performance of Happy Birthday. You can sing it at home without
charge, but restaurants that have staff sing the song must hold a license
from the ASCAP performing rights society, and movies that include the song
must pay a licensing fee.
<END QUOTE>

If you want to get the full picture of the absurdity of this case, take a
look at:
http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/birthday.asp

In what, for me, was a rather exhaustive search, I found no court cases
pertaining specifically to copyright violations for the use of Happy
Birthday, let alone a settlement on the copyright holder's behalf. BTW --
Neither could Peter Irvine (whom I spoke with personally about this.)
Apparently the copyright holder's strategy is to go afer the "big"
situations (such as in a motion picture), threaten a law suit that would
bankrupt most "violators" and collect the royalties.

Perhaps someone with more time and interest might want to research this
further.

Hope this will satisfy all concerns.

Stephen

Our group isn't able to go, so I have 16 tickets for sale on the ground floor,
next to the sound stage, rows 33 and 34, seats 1-8 in each row. One ticket is
regular member/associate ($175.00) and 15 are youth 25 and under ($99.00). The
youth tickets can be converted to adult by contacting Dusty Schleier, Manager of
Meetings & Conventions, Barbershop Harmony Society. Note: There are only a few
seats left and they are in the "nose-bleed" section!

One could always argue, that HBTY was indeed written well before the 1935
copyright date (proven since it was used on Broadway and movies before
then), and that the 1935 copyright was fraudulently obtained.  Next topic:

Hi Paul --

Perhaps you didn't notice that I cited that URL in my initial response to
Alexander, the group, Lorin, and you.

Here's what Peter Irvine, the music-copyright attorney whom I quoted wrote to me
after our phone conversation today:

<QUOTE>
While I think a good case could be brought to challenge the copyright of the
song Happy Birthday, it would require enormous financial resources to bring such
a challenge. The song is currently protected by a copyright that is enforced by
its owner. So usually the simplest and most efficient course of action is to pay
a license fee.

  "Copyright" actually involves a number of rights, including reproduction,
synchronization, and public performance. Depending on the type of use, various
licenses may be needed. If you want to release a recording of the song, you need
a mechanical license. This can be obtained easily from the Harry Fox Agency, at
a cost of 9.1 cents per copy (so $91 for 1000 CDs). If you want to copy sheet
music, you have to look at what the original sheet music says about making
copies (which is probably: you are not allowed to make copies; in which case you
need to buy more copies). If you want to use the song in a video (including
YouTube) or film, you need to talk to the copyright owner to get a
synchronization license. If you want to publicly perform the song, the venue
where you are singing needs to have a blanket license from ASCAP.

  If you are singing the song within a circle of friends and family, it is likely
not a "public performance," and thus you are not infringing on the copyright. On
the other hand, if you are performing for a large group of strangers, it is a
public performance, and you need to either get a license, or have the
performance covered by an ASCAP blanket license. Many performance venues,
including some restaurants, will have an ASCAP blanket license, so you may be
covered.
  There are exceptions. Certain uses may qualify as "fair use," but that needs to
be examined on a case-by-case basis.
  It is possible that the copyright will expire in 2030.

  Finally, if some one wants to challenge the Happy Birthday copyright, and has
the funding to go up against a very large corporation, I'm interested.

  There is an in-depth look at this topic at:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1111624
<END QUOTE>
.
This entire conversation might be turned into a pretty good Harmonizer feature.

All the best --

Has an enterprising computer-programming expert created a user-friendly template
for a choral riser chart yet?  I envision this template working in conjunction
with an Excel database that would include these sortable column headings:

Last Name
First Name
Membership Status (Member, Expired, Pending)
Participation Status (Active, Inactive)
Attendance Status (Adequate, Inadequate)
Voice Part (Tenor, Lead, Baritone, bass, Director)
Agility Rating (Good, Average, Poor, Seated)
Height Group (Short, Average, Tall)
Vocal Ability Rating (Good, Average, Poor)
Timbre Rating (Bright, Average, Dark)
Facial Expression (Good, Average, Poor)
Row Number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Position Number (1-20, From Left to Right)

The "plan view" image of the risers should be shown according to scale, with
color coded dots that include names and color-codes for voice parts.  A separate
page could include an option to input the dimensions of any stage to create a
plan view (to scale) of that as well.

The advantages of this product over the felt-board or magnetic board are:

1.  Several people could work together on riser chart maintenance from home.
2.  Updated riser charts could be shared with all singers electronically on a
weekly basis.
3.  Current riser chart could be printed and posted weekly.  

This software would not give any chorus a competitive advantage.  It would
simply save planning time and rehearsal time.  If this product already exists, I
would sure like to purchase the right to use it.  If it doesn't exist, any
choral riser manufacturer would have an opportunity to be a hero by paying the
right smart-guy/gal to create it as a copyrighted work with their company name
at the top for advertising purposes.  Who wants to make it happen?  

k-ray

Hi Bill --

As the crux of this as Peter Irvine explained it to me is that the copyright
holder (with hugely deep pockets) will come after those cases where they believe
the numbers are right, demand payment, threaten debilitating lawsuit, and
collect their money. I asked Peter if he'd take on the case pro bono but he
courteously declined the invitation.

Kenny Ray,
  Tom Metzger has a system Groupanizer that has that covered.  I so far have
not tried it, but I read lots of good stuff about it.

You can now sign up for the Region 25 webcast at www.region25webcast.com.  The
registration cost of $10 (you heard me right) includes the following:

Quartet Competition on Friday, March 16th beginning at 4:00 pm CST
Chorus Competition on Saturday, March 17th beginning at 11:30 am CST
Show of Champions on Saturay, March 17th beginning at 7:45 CST
Archives of all three events for the week following

Along with the chorus and quartet winners from the weekend, the Saturday night
show will feature the Rich-Tones and the OK City choruses, who are both
Denver-bound, and the 2010 Queens of Harmony, Zing!   In keeping with this
year's western them in Region,  I have it on good authority that Will Rogers
will be one of the emcees for the evening.


If you want to check in to see exactly when your favorite chorus or quartet hits
the stage, here is a link to the Region 25 bulletin.  Scroll down to page 29 for
the quartet pattern and 32 for choruses.

For $5, you can send a Shout Out to be read on the air.  Fun, fun, fun.  Come
join us in Richardson, TX at the stunning Eisemann Center for a fabulous weekend
of barbershop. . . western style!




See you in the world of virtual harmony,
