This wonderful hymn was my old school song (Congleton Grammar School for Girls in the U.K.) I loved it then (over 30 years ago) and I love it still - thank you very much for putting it on here. Janny

If you know where I can get a copy of this piece I would be most grateful as I would dearly love it to be played at my funeral. ( Sorry about being a touch morbid.

[berlin194]

This is the result of the greatest ever tenor singing a work by the greatest ever composer. Magnificent.
