INTERNATIONAL STAFF BAND plays Repton & St:Luke Hymn Tunes

Nobody Plays Hymn Tunes like a Salvation Army Band, so some would have us believe. Here's a fine example of a favourite Hymn Tune Repton, played by the Army's Premier Band. The tune Repton is associated with the words 'Dear Lord & Father of Mankind'.
If anyone knows the name of the second tune, I would be pleased if you would pass it on.

The second hymn tune is St. Luke # 46. Concert Pitch of Gb Major, our band eventually got to this since we play a different two every rehearsal.

Well done! This is great News.Thank you for bringing our search to a satisfactory conclusion. You would be surprised how many have tried and failed.

Be sure to see the lastest ISB videos on this channel. Some beautiful melodies such as from that 'Sacred Hill', plus good devotional congregational singing accompanied by the Satff Band.

Hello, here is David from Argentina. If I can help I will say that the tune Repton is number 123 in the New Tune Book. I am afraid it is not in the old Band Tune Book.

I love to start band rehersal with this lovely tune, and then after we have practised play again to end rehearsal.

God Bles you all.

Greetings from Argentina.

Hi David, Good to hear from you. Thank you for your greetings.I think most people love the Tune Repton along with the lovely words associated we associate with the Song/Hymn. I am still trying to find the name of the second tune the band plsys. I hope to have this question resolvbed very soon. Greetings and every blessing to you all in Argentina. Geoff

Ok;you've caught me out on that one...

I'd be able to tell you if we had a Solo/1st Cornet Book; but no, instruments are locked away at our hall ready for tomorrow...

I'll try and find out for you though; the CO army corps will probably know it!

[H15GWP]

I hope you succeed dibz. I must tell you lots of people have tried, without success. I am beginning to think this particulat tune is not in the Band Tune book, having checked thoroughly the metrcal index. It may have been played by the ISB as a one off. Do let us know what you come up with.

Songs of Praise would be far more enjoyable if the Salvation Army led them?

It's me, again. This is to all denominations: There is another hymn in the ELW set to REPTON. It is How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord, written by Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000. It is #580. If Mark 8:27-9:1 is your Scripture for the day, this is a good hymn to compliment it.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (March 8), we sang as our Hymn of the Day, He Comes to Us as One Unknown. It is #737 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship and set to REPTON. The lyrics were written by Timothy Dudley-Smith. Just tought I'd share.

Wow...I can't believe I have to say that, but...I don't recognize that second tune. That's a noodle scratcher there - I'm going to have to comb through both tune books until I find out.
