Do I need special permission to perform or record a published work of Virgil Thomson?
Provided that the performance is licensed by ASCAP or, outside the U.S., the local performing right society, or in the case of dramatic performances, by the publisher, no special permission is required from the Foundation. Similarly, if you wish to record a work that has been commercially released before, you do not need special permission from the Foundation. Contact the Harry Fox Agency (clientrelations@harryfox.com) or, outside the U.S., the local mechanical right society, for a license. For a first recording, please contact the publisher.
