Thread Name: Licensing-S.Carter: Every Star Shall Sing a Carol
Subject: Origins: Mechanical licensing for Sydney Carter's
I could get the whole question in the subject line. Our Christmas group has recorded Sydney Carter's Every Star Shall Sing a Carol for a short recording. We are based in the US. I thought for sure the Harry Fox song search would have it in there. It was not. And I did put in the correct title. Does anyone know where I can get a mechanical license, applicable in the US for this song, so that Mr. Carter's estate can get it's proper due. We're talking a run of less than 500 copies probably, so tens of dollars are at stake. I'm more concerned about the principle of doing the right thing. Thanks.
