Best Answer

It depends on whether copyright was renewed or not. The composer, James Buchanan Coats, died in 1961, so it could be protected through 2041. One approach would be to contact the Benson Company, which absorbed Zondervan, which purchased Stamps-Baxter Music Company, with which Coats was long associated.

Various conflicting accounts are given in Classical Greek mythology of the birth of Artemis and her twin brother, Apollo. All accounts agree, however, that she was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and that she was the twin sister of Apollo. An account by Callimachus has it that Hera forbade Leto to give birth on either terra firma (the mainland) or on an island. Hera was angry with Zeus, her husband, because he had impregnated Leto.
