dcuny - that's a happy sounding Veni Emmanuel! The minor chords always have me playing it about 1/2 speed of what you have there, so it's interesting to hear a different take on it.

Another song, although not as well-known as the ones listed, is Night Of Silence. It is not in the public domain.

Any time you plan to record something that has been written by someone else, never assume it is in the public domain simply because it's old.
Always do your research. As has been pointed out, some songs that we think are PD have several versions and the one we know is a more recent version that is still protected by copyright.
It only takes a few minutes to do the research and avoid the grief of a "cease and desist" letter or a claim against you for copyright infringement.
The only time it is "OK" to do covers of copyrighted material is:
1. For your own personal listening and recording pleasure where no one else will hear it.....ever.
2. If your publisher asks for a cover version of a song for a specific project and obtains the rights for that song pursuant to your written contract with that publisher.
3. You obtain the proper permissions for the intended use.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Herb, technology such as content ID is rapidly changing the landscape for recording cover songs. Right now, you can post a popular cover song to YouTube and the content Id system will most of the time pick this up and reimburse the copyright holder.
Thinks are changing rapidly. You no longer have to have a relationship to the music establishment (eg publisher) to make a name in the new model. Many artists have launched their careers by posting covers on YouTube.
I personally would love people to cover my songs and post them to YouTube.
Just my 2 cents worth..
Edited to add: I know the technology is not yet perfect but we should not ignore that it is on the way and it is most likely going to change the landscape for cover songs published on other platforms.
For most musicians obscurity is a much bigger threat than theft.

What a great and useful thread! And this line... For most musicians obscurity is a much bigger threat than theft.
was brilliant! I find most people don't steal what they have never heard.

Yes things have changed a lot on YouTube since this was first posted. I think Youtube came up with a brilliant way to benefit all parties.
However, if someone's going to put a Christmas cover song out somewhere other than Youtube it might still be wise to shell out the bucks for a license or stick with the public domain songs unless the new model is across whatever platform site they're intending to use.

That is 100% correct Josie. As far as I know content Id is only for YouTube right now so for other digital platforms you still need to purchase a license for copyrighted material. Of course there are still some copyright owners who are being sticky about YouTube and will demand that your video be taken down but I think these are very few and far between. Even they are beginning to see the light that it is a win win suitation.
