Coincidence

hope no one minds it's from the CH hymn book

heplful for people who do dots...

and I shall be telling my director of music that this is the proper tune and the one we'll be singing from now on

can you believe the new english hymnal suggests some odd old plainsong tune for it and as an alternative, Kingsfold? Kingsfold is the tune to I heard the voice of Jesus say except it's an old folk tune so I know different words - it's a bit like John Barleycorn I think, the tune?

Okay I am going to have to get someone to look for me. Being In East Lancashire, It is going to be a while before I can look for myself. Ah, I know, Mrs C might help.

Wonderful words! Thomas Traherne - who wrote Wordsworth poetry 200 years before Wordsworth was born. 'How like an angel came I down: How bright were all things here' : original innocence, a belief in which is an essential pre-requisite to teaching at CH. The tune is not so good - a poor thing, but mine own.

Me?? No I am not that erudite but Mr Shippen, now that is a different story. All is now revealed with a lot of help from Matt.

Traherne? Must be a Cornish bard - full of great poetry these chaps, especially in days gone by when they often wrote in the vernacular making the Cornish language outstanding among the Celtic tongues for its literary treasures.

.... and JDS - I have heard so much about your musicianship I would love to see it!
