Talk:My Sweetheart's like Venus (Gustav Holst)

Is the "rhyming translation" still under copyright?

I believe the "Rhyming translation" included on this page is under copyright. It matches the version printed in the 1933 Curwen edition and that edition states, "English Translation by Steuart Wilson". The Steuart Wilson in question is almost certainly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steuart_Wilson and this page states that he died in 1966 - 58 years ago.

It is my understanding that whilst the Holst arrangement published by Curwen and its accompanying Welsh words are no longer under copyright (in the UK at least), the English translation is still covered by copyright so cannot be included on CPDL.

I have researched this further and found that the original Curwen edition was simultaneously published in the US in 1933 but its copyright was then not renewed. This is therefore exempt from the URAA so the work and included lyrics are public domain in the US.
