Thread Name: As it is Sunday...Favourite Hymn?
Subject: RE: BS: As it is Sunday...Favourite Hymn?
Psul Theroux in "Saint Jack" has a British funeral in Singapore and mentions how important it is to trill the "r"'s in "Jerusalem":Brrrring me my bow /of burning gold/ Brrring me my arrrows of desire..." Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a nice reading of that. Personally, though, I'm fond of Gregorian chant, a thing not heard in church any more. Kumbaya, my tuchus.
