As Renaissance Chorus archivist and Association president, I became aware of a body of original work for strings, orchestra and vocal soloist written by Brown in the 1930s and ’40s and have since vigorously promoted the idea of ensuring that his work be recorded so that it may be accorded a rightful place in the world of music and enjoyed by the larger public. We feel honored to carry out the wishes of Brown's family and former students in sharing his legacy with all who seek to deepen their awareness of fine American music.
I left New York 20 years ago, but when I was a New Yorker for 3+ years, I was a member of John Hetland's Renaissance Street Singers. Very fond memories for me...
I was glad to contribute when I received John's call for support of the project.
All the best for the completion of the pledge.

I am glad to contribute, and would echo Karl's suggestion that at least the recording (and ideally also the compositions recorded) be released under a Creative Commons license.
My gift is in honor of John Hetland.
Hi Karl,
We did get a partial Copland grant, and can send you our projected budget if interested. I suppose the Brown Family has rights, as do the Artists and Albany records. This is a business area we, a non-profit Chorus don't know about. I welcome your advice. We are dealing with very reputable pros.
Best,

I'd be delighted to contribute to this if I knew that the recording itself and the compositions recorded were going to be available under free licenses -- e.g., Creative Commons Attribution, or Attribution-ShareAlike, or a public-domain dedication. There isn't any statement about that in the project description. Have you thought about it?
Best,
