“The melody used for this setting is by C.C. Williams (1852 – 1882).  Original words, Anonymous, but adapted by Daniel Webster Whittle in 1878. For original setting and words see the second score. New words BT, 1996. This setting proved to be a hit in Christ Church Clifton for the last one and a half years of the Gnu’s incumbency as Dictator of Music. The inadequate sequencing on the demo track gives you an idea of how it goes. Alan Teece, musician extaordinaire and master of the art of sequencing will cringe at this. He proved an inspiration and did outstanding work on some of our later recording.”
