[HANASHIR:16077] Fwd: Minchag for arrangements

[SOUNDSRITE <SOUNDSRITE...>]

Ellen - 
You have brought up a very good question.  As Debbie Friedman's publisher we 
would be happy to speak with you regarding the legalities of using your 
arrangement of her Miriam's Song composition.  You do need to get our 
permission to 
distribute Debbie's original work in any form.  Since there are many variables 
to consider, determining whether or not a royalty is charged, depends on the 
particular situation. 

I encourage you to contact Linda Carson, our Publishing Coordinator at:  
(619)697-6120 or linda (at) soundswrite(dot)com  The process of getting 
permission or an 
appropriate license is very easy - we handle requests of this nature every day! 

Shabbat shalom.

Chaverim,

I've only been on this list for a short time, so please pardon the
newbie question.

I am honored that so many want my arrangement of D. Friedman's
"Miriam's Song".  What is the custom regarding sharing of
arrangements?  Are fees usually charged, or just postage?  When I am
using my music publishing alias, I always charge.  But if there is a
more chesedik minchag among this list, then I wish to follow it.

Shabbat shalom,
