This tune is actually an arrangement known as "Westminster (Sacred Harmony) which is based on Purcell's Fairest Isle. This arrangement first appeared in John Wesley's 'Sacred Harmony' in 1780. The hymn itself is in 8787D metre so it'll go to dozens of tunes.

I had completely forgotton that Love Divine was written for this tune. Got used to Blaenwern, which is lovely. This, the original, is special, bringing out and enhancing the words, as well as being a fine tune in itself. The arrangement is pretty much in period too.

@blackpoolrok It's either sung to 'Love Divine' which only has enough music for half a verse, so one has to sing the tune twice for each verse. It also goes to Blaenwern, this seems to be the preferred tune.
watch?v=Y6hWmfR8dus&feature=related a Welsh tune on a welsh organ.

"Fairest Isle" is recognizable as soon as they start playing. Love the song in its original form but Charles Wesley put it to good use. This group proves that.

Maddy's voice has become more spectacular with age.

The words of this hymn-anthem were specifically written by Charles Wesley for "O Fairest Isle" a solo aria by PURCELL. So your only 50% correct.

How can I get a copy of this concert? Its very like the 'Sing Heartily and with Great Gusto' CD. And yes, those words are set to an old Anglican / Presbyterian hymn which I know, but can't think of the tune/ common name just now.
