Dispute Information:

We are fully within our rights to use the Wesley and Prichard hymn, "Love Divine, All Love's Excelling".  The text was written in the 1700s and the music in the 1800s which is well before the date for a work to be considered public domain of 1929 in the United States of America where we are located and where this Mass with Father Dave was filmed.  Any claim by entities foreign or domestic of the hymn's music/melody or text are invalid.  Additionally, any claim by entitites foreign or domestic to the use of this hymn as a "cover song" are also invalid as no recording was used in its performance--it was performed by the musicians of Church of St Martha.  We are fully within our rights to use this public domain hymn.
