Misc. Notes	This arrangement for band (HC 567/1b) was written by Cowell in January 1941 and used in a number of concerts by Percy Grainger; the score bears a copyright notice indicating publication of the arrangement in 1943. In the USA this work is most likely in the public domain because no renewal was found after a thorough search of the Catalog of Copyright Entries and it was ineligible for "restoration" under GATT/TRIPS.
