Subject: RE: Tune Req: Borrowed melody for Hymn 8May16
The first tune is the one Vaughan Williams used in his Variations on Dives and Lazarus, and as such is in the Oxford Book of Carols, no.57, though that says it more properly belongs to no.60, Job. VW adapted it when he edited the English Hymnal, called in Kingsfold and set it to 'I heard the voice of Jesus say'. Nic Jones, among others, sang D & L, and recorded it.
