These are in two categories:
- free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free) meaning the words can be copied and sung to at least one tune with no concerns about copyright or performance licensing - sometimes in a limited setting.
- Hymns that are still copyright.
There is a certain tension in suggesting hymns for national / secular events, and a need to balance material which celebrate positive aspects of the event or memorial with ones that acknowledge justice related issues which are surfaced by the event. Suggestions of additional hymns and songs that may provide this balance are very welcome.
Suggestions about hymns that could be included are welcome: leave a comment below.
