Subject: RE: Tune Req: I Shall Not Be Moved
Dale--Thanks so much for reminding me about the Cyber Hymnal. I wrote to them last year about a tune I heard as the background music to Ken Burns' Lewis and Clark special. It was "Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy" (in one of the Baptist hymnals) but to the tune of "Beach Spring." They said they couldn't post that version because of copyrights. Yuck!!!!! But today I searched a little and found a midi for the tune here. It's in Sacred Harp 1844, so I don't understand why it's so hard to find.

It seems that for a lot of these hymns, you need to go back to the hymn tune and search for that.

Wyowoman--Here's a link I picked up from Okiemockbird. < href="http://www.ccel.org/s/southern_harmony/sharm/sharm/">Southern Harmony And here's one from Escamillo Amazing Grace Midis

Don't ya just love Mudcat?
