Removals

We have recently removed our larger listing of tunes. There are more more comprehensive resources on the web. However, these are sufficient for singing much of what is in the Scottish Psalter or the Bay Psalm Book.

We believe that the copyrighted (©) tunes that appear on this page are recorded in keeping with the Fair Use doctrine of U.S. Copyright law: we have only recorded one repetition of the melody, and it is not recorded to profit, nor to undermine the original artists’ ability to profit, and it is intended only for instructional or educational purposes.
