Thread Name: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
Subject: RE: Was 'Lord of the Dance' anti-semitic?
I just noticed this on the Stainer and Bell website:

: The tune is an adaptation of the Shaker tune 'Simple Gifts', but is accepted and acknowledged
: as a separate copyright in its own right
: It's not 'Traditional' - it is fully copyright throughout the world, and as such, permission
: should be requested for reproduction on web sites and in 'order of services' etc

How have they (and Carter) managed to get away with that mendacious bollocks?
