Subject: RE: Tune Req: Hardy Norseman aka Christiana
And here are links to the page in my hymnal for the Esperanto text to Hardy Norseman, and to The Cyber Hymnal page for the English, set to Kingsfold. Note that both are folk tunes in origin, however much RVW may have gussied up the latter.
Also, I just got email from the German Esperanto hymnist Rev. Adolf Burkhardt, who writes: La melodion mi bone konas, sub iom modifita formo. Momente mi ne scias en kiu kantaro trovi - temas pri profana kanto "Wohlauf in Gottes schöne Welt, lebe wohl, ade". Oni iam kantis ĝin dum ekskursoj. Ĉu la nuna generacio plu konas ĝin, mi devas testi kun vizitantoj okaze de la venontaj festo-tagoj. Korajn salutojn, Adolf
i.e., "I know the tune well, in a somewhat modified form. At the moment I don't know in which songbook to find it - it's a secular song, "Wohlauf in Gottes schöne Welt, lebe wohl, ade". It used to be sung during outings. Whether the present generation still knows it I shall have to test with visitors during the coming holidays. Hearty greetings, Adolf"
