Hello, list. I'm posting this query on behalf of a colleague on another listserv. Since he is not on this list, please also respond to him directly. First query: I have a wild sound audio recording from a 1971 public event in Idaho > Falls that includes a patriotic song sung by a local choir. I would > like clear rights to it to use in a film production, but have no > information about the song other than the recording itself. Internet > searches of the lyrics have been fruitless and queries to ASCAP and > BMI haven't yielded anything, since I don't know the title or > songwriter. Is there some way I can identify the song and its owner > based on its lyrics? > > > Dwight Swanson > Center for Home Movies > [log in to unmask] > > P.S. > I posted an mp3 of the song at http://tinyurl.com/yjtez9j > Follow up query with more info: I found a local newspaper article and the chorus is the New Freedom > Singers from Ricks College (now Brigham Young University-Idaho). I'm > trying that angle, and have contacted their music librarian and the > creator of a Facebook page for New Freedom Singers alumni. > -- Timothy Wisniewski, M.L.I.S.
