*Clarification on Copyright

*Original excerpted from Festival Features, March 1995, a newsletter of The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited. Revised November 2004. Reprinted with permission.

The term “copyright” refers to the rights of a creator of intellectual property, such as a work of music. Although the rights may not be easily tangible, a creative work is a valuable property.

The Canadian Copyright Act protects the rights of creators to retain control over, and be compensated for, the use of their intellectual property. Many people do not realize that the unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted materials, such as print music, is in essence, theft. As music educators, we all recognize the value of creativity. Music teachers can play an important role in encouraging their students to respect composers' efforts by ensuring that students are made aware of the intent of the Canadian Copyright Act.

Misconception 1: A teacher may copy music for educational purposes. False. Many teachers may be under the impression that photocopying for educational use is legal. Although public school boards, colleges, and universities may have negotiated licenses to enjoy special copying privileges in defined situations, print music is excluded from this arrangement. This means that teachers – including independent studio music teachers – are not authorized to photocopy print music. The publisher, often acting as the representative of the composer, should be contacted directly to obtain permission to make copies of print music for any purpose.

Misconception 2: It is permissible to photocopy music in order to facilitate page turns. False. Permission must be granted by the holder of the copyright (the publisher) on the composer's behalf in order for a copy to be made for any purpose, including the facilitation of page turns.*

To understand the rationale underpinning this aspect of the Copyright Act, imagine that you wish to borrow your neighbour's shovel. Your neighbour will probably not say “no” or charge you a fee to use the shovel, but you would never borrow it without first seeking permission. As with your neighbour, a publisher's permission is required before you “borrow” an extra copy of print music on which the publisher holds the copyright.

Misconception 3: It is legal to photocopy music from out-of-print publications. False. A creator's right to be compensated for the use of their creation continues after a book is no longer for sale. Copying out-of-print music still requires the permission of the copyright holder in order to avoid violation of the Copyright Act. On occasion, a teacher may wish his or her student to study a particular piece of music that is no longer available from music retailers. Contact the publisher of the music for permission to make a copy.

Misconception 4: Permission is not required to copy the works of long-dead composers. False. Copyright exists both in a musical composition and in the physical notation of a musical score. This means that even if a composer's works themselves are in the public domain (for example, as Bach's are), a particular publisher's edition of those works may not be in the public domain. Therefore, if you wish to write out one of Bach's Inventions by hand, you may do so, but you may not photocopy it from a printed book without the publisher's permission. (Note: the compositions of living composers or of composers who have been dead for fewer than seventy years should not be copied, either by hand or otherwise, without permission).

*With this public notice, The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited is pleased to grant permission to festival, recital, and examination participants to use one photocopy of one page of their original score published by The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited for the purpose of facilitating a page turn. This permission is granted for a one-time use only, with the understanding that the photocopy will be destroyed immediately following the performance.

To qualify for Provincial competition, dancer must perform at least two Modern and/or Contemporary(Modern) solos.

MODERN A - A stylized dance form with its foundation on a technically based discipline such as Graham, Limon, Cunningham, Humphrey, Horton, and Ailey etc. Dance that rejects the limitations of Classical Ballet, was formulated from natural rhythms, and which favours movement derived from the expression of inner feeling, contraction and release, suspension, fall and recovery, and dynamism. Lyrics/vocals are permitted in the Modern category and the following options are also acceptable: spoken text, absence of music, vocalization without music, solo instrumentation and natural sounds/intonations. If musical accompaniment is chosen for this discipline it is strongly recommended that every effort be made to ensure that the piece selected is both musically and stylistically appropriate. Ballet shoes (soft or pointe) and jazz shoes (full or half-sole) are NOT permitted in the Modern Discipline. MODERN B - Description as above. If performing two Modern solos, please ensure that the pieces are contrasting in style/technique.

CONTEMPORARY (MODERN) A - Free Movement of Dance encompassing various dance disciplines; a constantly evolving style of movement that explores and gives physicality to human ideologies, behaviours, and emotions, with the emphasis on engaging the whole body. Lyrics/vocals are permitted in the Contemporary (Modern) category and the following options are also acceptable: spoken text, absence of music, vocalization without music, solo instrumentation and natural sounds/intonations. If musical accompaniment is chosen for this discipline it is strongly recommended that every effort be made to ensure that the piece selected is both musically and stylistically appropriate. Ballet shoes (soft or pointe) and jazz shoes (full or half-sole) are NOT permitted in the Contemporary (Modern) Discipline. CONTEMPORARY (MODERN) B - Description as above.

within the boundaries of School District #28 will be given PRIORITY when selections of competitors & observers for the Provincial Festival are made”. It is the responsibility of the local secretaries to advise colleague festivals of the names of their recommended competitors.

adjudicator).

Participants may not enter the same selection in successive years.

Competitors must report to the Check-in desk at the performance venue at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled class commencement time.

Participants who fail to appear for their classes forfeit their right to perform.

Each competitor is requested to announce the titles and composers of their pieces before performing.

No admittance will be allowed once a performance has commenced and absolute silence must prevail during each performance.

No preschoolers will be allowed in the performance hall unless they are performing.

Knowledge of stage decorum, suitable dress and courtesy to fellow performers are all part of the festival experience. Teachers and parents are urged to encourage contestants to become acquainted with this. The Festival Committee strongly suggests that students DO NOT wear blue jeans, and/or runners, and that hair be tied back from the face, as this is taken into consideration in the overall performance.

Competitors are expected to be present for the entire class and are requested to wait for the Adjudicator's signal before beginning.

All competitive entrants of the Quesnel Festival of the Performing Arts are eligible for the festival trophies, certificates and awards.

A number of trophies are awarded for Solo & Ensemble performances and should be awarded to performers with silver or gold standing. It is recommended that a performer receive one trophy only – in order to encourage a larger number of participants, rather than a limited few. When there isn’t a qualified trophy recipient, trophies do not have to be awarded.

Time limits are given as an aid to the competitor to understand the amount of material expected at this level.

Concerto marks may be used as one of the qualifying marks provided it meets the standard of difficulty for the grade level as outlined by the Syllabus.

THE DECISION OF THE ADJUDICATOR IS FINAL.

6. VOLUNTEERS

Selection may be any form of poetry

Lyric Poetry – A short unified poem, expressing the poet’s own experience, thoughts and feelings.

Does not tell a story or contain dialogue but describes a scene or emotion in a subjective manner, and

is rarely, if ever, humorous. It is usually performed in a relaxed sitting or standing position with no

movement or gestures. E.g. “The Swing” by Robert Louis Steven son or “Daffodils” by William

Wordsworth

Narrative Poetry – Tells a story and usually contains dialogue. The telling of the story is the primary

concern of the speaker. A portion of a longer poem may be chosen rather than the complete work.

These poems are written objectively and may be humorous. Gestures may be included to enhance the

telling of the story. E.g. “Hiding” by Dorothy Aldis or “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe

Sonnet Poetry – A lyric poem of 14 lines with a specific rhythm scheme or structure.

Canadian Poetry – Written by a Canadian author. May be lyric or narrative.

Humorous Poetry – Any form of light or humorous verse. Poems that are conversations, contain

dialogue or have distinctly different moods work well. Limited gestures are permitted.

dialogue. It should be spoken in the story-telling style with minimum gestures. Vocal characterization

is encouraged but the quality of the prose must be maintained.
