"Air Fa La La Lo" is an example. I just had a thought that maybe some Governing Body keeps a catalogue of what is and isn't in the public domain?!! |

16 Apr 07 - 08:08 PM (#2027372) Subject: RE: Origins: Copyrights?? From: Malcolm Douglas Yes, lots do. See the vast number of earlier 'copyright' threads where people ask the same question, though usually without mentioning what country they are in (on which the answer depends). In the case of 'Air Falalalo', the tune is traditional but the words are by Hugh S Roberton, US copyright 1938. Roberton died in 1952, so copyright will not yet have lapsed. |

From: MMario well - I think we all know (at least vaguely) what he means. - but since "celtic' is more or less meaningless when applied to music, at least as the industry applies it; making a mish-mash of the term really doesn't make much diffence, does it? |

The reason for asking in the first place is that it really sticks in my craw to give some collector credit for songs which he has merely translated and adapted. I could go out tomorrow and adapt any number of songs from the Romance Languages. That doesn't make them mine. If all Hugh Roberton did in 1938 was to re-arrange a Gaelic song, why shouldn't it be public domain? Malcolm: I'm in Canada. |
