Here is an obscure hymn written by Hattie Rhue-Hatchett, daughter of slaves who escaped to Canada to settle in Buxton, Ontario. This up tempo hymn, titled 'That Sacred Spot', was apparently selected as the official march of the Canadian troops during WW1. Here is a midi in the military march style, and here is a midi of her original piano arrangement. For the history fans among us, here is a link to the Buxton Settlement Historic Site and Museum. My sincere thanks to them for providing me with the music to this historic tune. - - -
