Russia by the London Sacred Harp Singers

[GuernseyPete]

We get our extra verses, we do this for a lot of our repertoire, from simple research, mainly Google but also old hymn-books, etc. Many of the original texts have been edited down, why we don't know now. We reckon any good tune should be sung a few times before one tires of it. Occasionally extra verses turn up which are too bloody and vindictive !

The tenor is the melody line, unlike the C of E music I grew up with where the lead is the choirboy treble and it's pitched too high for everyone!

Wow! Where did you get all those verses! We only have two in our book. I really enjoyed this energetic rendition.
