"Classic" songbook repertoire

Various people [MW, EtFB] have commented on the disparity of versions of common songs sung by AICSA choirs. The following is a table of these songs and editors who have created versions of them, which is intended as a revised version of the table created for the Platinum-Iridium Metric Songbook (a URL is no longer available).

As such, the compilation below probably represents the tip of a not inconsiderable iceberg. The music listed in the first section of the table (sorted alphabetically by title) is known to be in the public domain in essence; however the editor of the version may claim a copyright for a limited period of time (usually 25 years in Australia). (The italics in the composer’s dates denote circa.)

Notes:
[1] Dindirin: these versions are in English translation; the MonUCS and SCUNA songbooks contain versions in the original French (Ju me leve).
[2] Gaudeamus igitur has a large number of verses: OSP has 3 (Gaudeamus, Vivat academia, Vita nostra brevis est) or the full 10; KA also sets 10; PL sets 5 (+ Vivant omnes virgines, Vivat et republica) and another 2 ‘as sung at Melbourne’.
[3] In te, Domine, speravi: The CPDL version has some different text and slightly different music.
[4] Jerusalem: the second verse should not be sung to the same music as the first verse. Only the versions by KA and PL reflect this.
[5] Laudate: All but the PL version are verbatim copies of the 19th century Novello editions.
[6] N’kosi: The KA version uses an improved syllabification of the African texts.
[7] Sicut cervus: The version by DG omits the second part Sitivit anima mea. The SCUNA songbook (3rd Edition) includes both CPDL scores.
[8] Bogorodyitse dyevo: Removed from CPDL 30/10/2000 owing to copyright issues in the U.S.A. – the music is public domain in Australia, but a given edition may be protected by copyright for 25 years. Most versions commonly available were published after 1980.
[9] Four Seasons in One Day: Reproduction/performance permission: Tonya Healey (09) 2840178 and Mushroom Records (03) 9690 3399
[10] Azaria: In progress and unpublished. The current version has both texts (Wimoweh and Azaria) as options.
[11] If music: PL sets both verses.
[12] Java Jive: The PL edition has been re-arranged incorporating the melodic bass line of the original accompaniment, as well as the correct text.
[13] Now, O now: The CPDL edition needs 4 alterations to the text as shown here in italics; an Acrobat editor will be able to accomplish this. Verse 2, Till that death do sense bereave; verse 3, Whom you might have joyèd ever; verse 3, Him Despair doth cause to lie, Who both lived and dièd true.
[14] Sing we and chant it: The CPDL edition needs one textual correction to the second verse, But spare no treasure.
[15] Doctor Who: This is a more difficult arrangement, but much closer to the spirit of the original than the version familiar to many.
