5.2.3 This Land is Your Land g This land is your land, The wheat fields waving This land is my land, And the dust clouds rolling From Bonavista The fog was lifting a voice come chanting To Vancouver Island, This land was made for you and me. From the Arc tic Circle, To the Great Lake waters, As I was walkin' This land was made for you and me. I saw a sign there And that sign said no tress passin' As I was walking, But on the other side That ribbon of highway, It didn't say nothin'! I saw above me Now that side was made for you and me! That endless skyway, I saw below me In the squares of the city That golden valley. In the shadow of the steeple This land was made for you and me. Near the relief office I see my people I've roamed and rambled And some are grumblin' And I've followed my footsteps And some are wonderin' To the sparkling sands of her diamond If this land's still made for you and me. deserts And all around me a voice was sounding Nobody living can ever stop me This land was made for you and me. As I go walking That freedom highway The sun comes shining Nobody living can make me turn back As I was strolling This land was made for you and me. This is a Canadian version of the lyrics of a song written by Woody Guthrie, as performed by Canadian folk singers of the 1960s called The Travellers. <http://www.tjff.com/2001/festival_films/the_travellers.html> .

Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance
Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance Harold Toliver LYRIC PROVINCES IN THE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE Harold Toliver Poets are by no means alone in being pre pared to see new places in settled ways and to describe them in received images. Outer regions will be assimilated into dynasties, never mind the hostility of the natives. The ancient wilderness of the Mediterranean and certain biblical expectations of what burning bushes, gods, and shepherds shall exist every where encroach upon the deserts of Utah and California. Those who travel there see them and other new landscapes in terms of old myths of place and descriptive topoi; and their descriptions take on the structure, to nality, and nomenclature of the past, their language as much recollection as greeting. In Professor Toliver's view, the concern of the literary historian is with, in part, that ever renewed past as it is introduced under the new conditions that poets confront, and is, therefore, with the parallel movement of liter ary and social history. Literature, he reminds us, is inseparable from the rest of discourse (as the study of signs in the past decade has made clearer), but is, nevertheless, distinct from social history in that poets look less to common discourse for their models than to specific literary predecessors. Careful observ ers of place, they seek to bring what is distinct and valuable in it within some sort of verbal compass and relationship with the speaker. They bring with them, however, formulas and tf > w if a loyalty to a cultural heritage that both com plicate and confound the lyric address to place.

Copyright Matters
Copyright Matters The copyright clearance statement is included on the competition entry form. By completing and submitting the entry form, the quartet or the president/ team leader, on behalf of the chorus, is stating that to the best of their knowledge the arrangements the group is performing are legal arrangements; either they have been cleared through the copyright process, are original works, or are songs in the public domain. Generally, when you purchase music you can assume that appropriate permissions have been obtained. However, if you are not certain, it is acceptable to ask the music provider to verify that the arrangement has cleared the copyright approval process. Please be aware that lyrics, like the music itself, are copyright protected. Legal issues typically occur only when a performer makes musical or lyrical changes to a published arrangement without permission. Altering a few words to personalize the song for the performer is usually permissible; however, if the lyrical changes involve a parody, with very few exceptions a performer must obtain permission from the copyright holder to make such changes. Parody lyrics are defined by Jay Althouse in his book, Copyright: The Complete Guide for Music Educators, as follows: “Parody lyrics are lyrics which replace the original lyrics of a vocal work or are added to an instrumental work. In general, any parody lyric or the revision of a lyric that changes the integrity (character) of the work requires authorization from the copyright owner.” Copyright holders have the right to say “no” to any particular arrangement of their music, and they exercise that right frequently when it comes to parodies.

Money for Something: Music Licensing in the 21St Century
Money for Something: Music Licensing in the 21st Century Updated February 23, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R43984 SUMMARY R43984 Money for Something: Music Licensing in the February 23, 2021 21st Century Dana A. Scherer Songwriters and recording artists are generally entitled to receive compensation for Specialist in (1) reproductions, distributions, and public performances of the notes and lyrics they create (the Telecommunications musical works), as well as (2) reproductions, distributions, and certain digital public Policy performances of the recorded sound of their voices combined with instruments (the sound recordings). The amount they receive, as well as their control over their music, depends on market forces, contracts between a variety of private-sector entities, and laws governing copyright and competition policy. Who pays whom, as well as who can sue whom for copyright infringement, depends in part on the mode of listening to music. Congress enacted several major updates to copyright laws in 2018 in the Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act (MMA; P.L. 115-264). The MMA modified copyright laws related to the process of granting and receiving statutory licenses for the reproduction and distribution of musical works (known as “mechanical licenses”). The law set forth terms for the creation of a nonprofit “mechanical licensing collective” through which owners of copyrights in musical works could collect royalties from online music services. The law also changed the standards used by a group of federal administrative law judges, the Copyright Royalty Board, to set royalty rates for some statutory copyright licenses, as well as the standards used by a federal court to set rates for licenses to publicly perform musical works offered by two organizations representing publishers and composers, ASCAP and BMI.

Nick Drake and the Baroque Characteristics of His Music Mckendrick Bearden
Nick Drake and the Baroque Characteristics of His Music McKendrick Bearden This paper was written for Dr. Callaway’s Music History course. Born in the British Colony of Burma in 1948 and brought up in the English countryside of Warwickshire, Nick Drake has become one of the most influential and celebrated folk artists of the twentieth century. Strangely enough, the popularity his music enjoys now was not gained until thirty years after his death in 1974. In his music we find the use of extremely unusual guitar tunings, pastoral and simplistic lyrics, beautiful melodies, and an extraordinary high emotional level that has evoked responses from many who have written about his work. He is now known as one of the most important folk singer/ songwriters to have ever lived, though much of his music sets him apart from the contemporary folk artists the 20th century. Nick Drake has influenced countless musicians and songwriters since his early passing, and the reason for his influence may well lie in the characteristics and influences of his songs that make them so different from other folk artists of era. Trevor Dann discusses his influences as “avant-garde jazz, classical music, especially choral music, what we’d now call ‘world music’, and the blues” (p.13). Many articles and reviews describe his music as having a baroque quality or influence. Whether it is referring to the string arrangements in several of his songs or the sweeping orchestral quality of his guitar, most commentators never fail to observe a Baroque tinge. Nick Drake’s first album Five Leaves Left introduced listeners to his ornate guitar accompaniments and baroque orchestrations that are now synonymous with his work.

The Use of Song Lyrics As an Expressive Arts Tool in Counseling: a Literature Review
Article 84 The Use of Song Lyrics as an Expressive Arts Tool in Counseling: A Literature Review Paper based on a poster presented at the 2013 Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia Convention, June 13–16, Savannah, GA. Amanda C. DeDiego DeDiego, Amanda C., is a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education at the University of Tennessee. She has a MS in Community Counseling from the University of North Georgia. She is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with clinical experience working with adolescents in various settings. Abstract Music has been used as a tool for emotional management in counseling for many years. This review of the literature examines the use of music and sharing song lyrics as tools for emotional processing as a component of expressive arts therapy. Following a brief summary of the historical and clinical context of sharing song lyrics in counseling, empirical literature including the practice of using song lyrics in various clinical settings is explored. Empirical literature related to expressive arts therapy including the use of songs and song lyrics is critically examined, concluding with suggestions for further research and implications for practice. Keywords: music, lyrics, expressive arts, counseling, techniques The lyrics of a song tell a story and emphasize strong emotions through the lyricist’s themes. Use of song lyrics in counseling is common and effective as an emotional processing tool to evoke deep emotional responses from a client (Gladding, Newsome, Binkley, & Henderson, 2008). While music therapy employs both prerecorded and live music (Amir & Bodner, 2013; Hodas, 1991), this review of the literature focuses primarily on use of songs and specifically song lyrics as a component of expressive arts therapy (EAT).

SONG LYRICS Sing-along with the songs from Frozen! Let It Go The snow glows white No right, no wrong, no rules for me. on the mountain tonight, I’m free! not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation and it looks Let it go, let it go. like I’m the queen. I am one with the wind and sky. The wind is howling like this Let it go, let it go. swirling storm inside. You’ll never see me cry. Couldn’t keep it in, Heaven knows I tried. Here I stand, and here I’ll stay. Don’t let them in, don’t let them see. Let the storm rage on. Be the good girl you always have to be. Conceal don’t feel, don’t let them know. My power flurries through the air Well, now they know! into the ground. My soul is spiraling in Let it go, let it go! frozen fractals all around Can’t hold it back anymore. And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast Let it go, let it go! I’m never going back; the past is in the past! Turn away and slam the door. I don’t care what they’re going to say. Let it go, let it go. Let the storm rage on. And I’ll rise like the break of dawn. The cold never bothered me anyway. Let it go, let it go That perfect girl is gone It’s funny how some distance, Here I stand, in the light of day.
