As we intend to make these tracks available at no cost to our children’s and junior youth classes, we have tried to contact all composers (and their representatives) to obtain permission to make their songs available for FREE via our website. We are grateful to those who responded and their songs are now available for downloading (please see underlined tracks in blue color) - to download, write-click on the tracks, click “Save target/link as …” and save the files directly to your computer). We shall be updating our website on a regular basis – in the meantime, please feel free to preview the songs as we have added playlists for all song collections. You may also want to forward our link to friends and groups involved in teaching children and junior youth classes in your area.
The composers we are in contact with has voluntarily agreed to make their songs available for FREE download as long as no money is derived or collected from this production. We therefore ask the friends to keep this in mind as they make use of the songs featured here: “….it is permissible to translate and record these songs into various languages, provided that no recording be sold or used for commercial purposes in any way.” (From the official Ruhi Institute website)
