Thread Name: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
Subject: RE: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
If folk tunes are those of the people, sung by the people, then you should be in Padstow on the Sundays leading up to Christmas to hear the Padstow carols. One or two people have sung them out of Padstow but the carollers have only been out of the town once and that was to sing them at the Festival of Village carols in Sheffield in 2000.

My favourite hymn has to be the Shaker Bright Morning Star, sung very quietly with stunning harmonies, late at night where harmony singers are gathered together... hairs on back of neck or what?
