There is sometimes a reluctance for arrangers to identify themselves due to copyright etc,. I have arranged over 200 tunes for 26 note organs. Some are over 200 years old... some not so old. As I do not know where the copyright cut-off point is, I prefer to remain anonymous. But as you say an excellent arrangement.
There seems to be too much regulation, too much legislation and rules. Do you know ...if I want to play my organ in public, I need liability insurance to the 'tune of'' FIVE MILLION Pounds.
However, on arranging, I just love the challenge of trying to get, say a Scott Joplin Rag, down to a 26 note scale, with of course full respect to the original.
On the other hand, I've heard that playing your transistor radio on the beach is regarded as a public performance in Britain! Is that really so? (at least, this law prevents a lot of public nuisance)
hmm, odd, I very much insist on having my name printed on everything I have worked on! After all I'm arranging the tunes and they are no longer the original but rather a parody-version of its former self and thus no longer covered by copyright.
Here in Holland, they think really different about that. as long as the arrangement is recognizable (is this English??) as the original compositioin, right fees have to be paid.
very nice !!!!

Afaik, copyright ends 70 years after the composer has died. I haven't made a thorough check though.

I think Disney is working to extend that again, at least in the US.
They will do anything to keep the Mouse from falling into the public domain...

"Tipitipitin" is an adaptation of the Carl Frei arrangement for Dutch street organs.
Some of the other titles must be adaptations of work from contemporary Dutch arrangers... ;-(

That's too bad ... in fact the work of the arranger is often underestimated.

It is I'm afraid all too common these days.
