Anyone looking for anthems for Harvest Festival will realise that apart from Maurice Green’s Visiting of the Earth, the repertoire is a bit thin. Hence this bog standard hymn-anthem which goes through all the expected modulations and motions. Its saving grace is the charming tune Scottish tune ‘Selma’ to which these words are set the in old English Hymnal. (Why on earth did they drop it in the new edition (No 260)? Some editors are obviously daft; even if someone did have a yen for ‘Holyrood’ there is plenty of space for a second tune on the music page). Anyway, my choir sing it cheerfully - and they would be quick to tell me if they thought it was rubbish.

Hymn Inspiration (B) Free Organ Accompaniments for 72 well-known hymns |
£20.00 |
The original ‘Hymn Inspiration’ appeared in a best-selling collection of 6 volumes originally published by Oecumuse. The composer also contributed to various other compilations issued by the same publisher under somewhat rude titles which gained him (the publisher i.e.) some notoriety. This new volume now collects all of this composer’s ‘funny last verses’ in the one book with a fine new cover and introduction. All the settings have been inspected carefully and revised as necessary, and in some cases simplified. There is also an addition - a version of the tune ‘Praise my Soul’ written by Goss in 1868 for verse 4 of the same hymn ‘Frail as summer’s flower we flourish’ (not in all hymnbooks).

Goes the Christ in the Stranger’s Guise (A-B) SAB and Organ |
One copy £2.00 |
More ‘wistful tartanry’ you might say (see above,
GA). This simple piece is a working of a plaintive Gaelic folk song setting the
lovely words of an ancient Celtic hospitality rune.
(NB with each set which is formatted at 8 pages, a reduced format organ score
printed on card which avoids page turns will be supplied free of charge.)

Based on Scottish Folk Tunes |
£8.00 |
The
prize-winning ‘A Little Liturgical Suite based on Scottish Folk Melodies’ has
been so well received that it is hoped that a successor might also find
acceptance.
However for this Second Suite the word ‘Liturgical’ has been dropped because
while the first two items might well be played as voluntaries, the third, a
somewhat inebriated reel, is only too secular in its expression. One reviewer of
the First (Little Liturgical) Suite described it as ‘wistful tartanry’ which was
probably not meant entirely as a compliment.
However it is resolutely accepted as such, since it admirably
describes the aim in the slower movements of both works.
10. Voluntaries
| Postlude on ‘Veni Emmanuel’ (B) |
£4.00 |
This is the composer’s re-harmonisation of the Advent hymn-tune in ‘Hymn Inspiration’, expanded into a closing voluntary for Advent Sunday beginning with the tune thundering out on the Tuba in the tenor register. Simpleminded doubtless, vulgar possibly, but quite useful really.
