Brooklyn Rider Makes Classical Music Hip - Arts & Entertainment. Discovering a Musical Heartland: Wu Man Returns to China by Wu Man - Project Site - Where Great Art Starts - from United States Artists. Four years ago, I had the opportunity to go back to China to research and find musicians to bring to the U.S. to perform concerts at Carnegie Hall as part of a festival of Chinese culture. During these travels, I not only found wonderful musicians, I also re-discovered my own musical roots. The people I met and the extraordinary music they were making was something I wanted to document.
Although the concerts at Carnegie Hall were sold out, I wanted to share the stories of these people and their culture with a much wider audience. It was also important to me to be able to create a tool that puts the music and the musicians into a cultural context and film is a very effective and direct way of doing this. In China, a highly-populated country inhabited by 1.3 billion people, there is a rich folk music tradition. Being a musician, it is not easy to make a documentary. Please let’s make this film project together! Music Librarians & Magic Super-Copyright | IMSLP Journal.
Most music librarians are saints: knowledgeable, hard-working, not paid enough. But a few regard their employer's sheet music collection – much of which may be public domain – as their private property, and view those seeking to copy it as dangerous subversives who should be blacklisted from libraries across the known universe. The notion that all printed music is protected by magic super-copyright may be a reaction to unlawful photocopying of music by students in the past. But that's no excuse for a professional librarian, trained in copyright law, to restrict the lawful copying of public domain music.
A similar point can be made about some music examination boards who enforce a 'no playing from photocopies without written permission from the publisher' rule upon examinees. If the music is copied from a public domain source there is no good reason why it can't be used in an examination, with or without the publisher's consent.
