Copyright

 

The following information applies to all 7 volumes of Singing a New Song, including the 3 volumes of lyrics and my chosen music for the the Lectionary Years A, B and C.    I have used the Revised Common Lectionary for 2017 to2019.


The Musical scores.


The vast majority of the tunes suggested on this website, that can be used with this collection of new lyrics,  have  been  sourced  from  an  archive/website  of  public-domain  material  accessible  at   Christian Classics Ethereal Hymnary (CCEH).   

However, some of the melodies, suggested are still in copyright.  In these cases, the suggested tunes are certainly suitable but there may be other tunes which are also suitable.  I encourage you to do your own research.   I have been advised by the Australian Copyright Council that making suggestions of different lyrics for copyrighted tunes does not raise any copyright issues, as long as the musical scores are not printed on the website.   No musical scores have been printed on this website,.

If a leader of worship wishes to use any lyrics and the tune suggested is still in copyright, he/she should check with their copyright license provider to make sure that no copyright law or regulation has been infringed.    Obtaining permission from the copyright owner of the tune to use their composition in such circumstances is necessary

Different copyright laws and regulations exist in different countries.  Living and working in Australia, I have based my procedures and practices on Australian laws and regulations.   If working outside Australia, it would be wise to check with your own country's laws and regulations regarding these matters.

If there are any errors in this copyright information I would like to be informed promptly, so that correct advice can be given.
