Hello all. I have a question regarding copyright information. Does anyone know if it is legal to set the poetry of T.S. Eliot, and/or what you have to do if it is necessary to obtain some kind of copyright permission?
I am completing a piece for orchestra and tenor based on a small selection from the last movement of Eliot's "Four Quartets". There is a good possibility it can be performed by my university orchestra and a friend of mine as the tenor soloist, but does a public performance of Eliot's poetry to an original musical setting pose any kind of legal problem I should be aware of?
Thanks for your input.
Blessings
Josh
