03 Apr 00 - 10:13 PM (#206297) Subject: Help:Recording trad. songs From: The Lighthouse When recording traditional songs or tunes, what is the proper credit billing that should be given. I.E. recording a version of someone elses trad. song with the same lyrics and melody, is credit given to them or you and how much needs to be changed to gain credit for a trad. arrangement? Also the same question for trad. instrumentals. |

If your arrangement is significantly different, then it's yours; if it's just copied, or only very slightly changed, then it's not. (That comment doesn't necessarily reflect the legal position, though, which is very complex.) Good luck! Malcolm |

If the "someone else" has listed the tune as traditional, rather then "arrangement by...." then you could just credit it as traditional. If it is "arranged by" and you are duplicating it, then credit (AND royalties) should go to the arranger. |

Are you changing the tune and/or harmony part(s) at all? Are you using different instruments and/or playing different melody/harmony lines with them? Have you changed the rhythm or the emphasis of the beat at all? -- Áine |
