29 Oct 06 - 01:36 PM (#1871497) Subject: Hymn tune 'Saltash' From: Cats Does anyone have any information about a hymn tune called 'Saltash'? We are looking for provenance of pre 1850 and think it may appear in hymn books and psalmodies both in the UK and USA. |

DeWitt Wasson's Hymntune Index and Related Hymn Materials (1998), SALTASH (aka PLEADING SAVIOR, PLYMOUTH, SING OF MARY etc.) appeared in Joshua Leavitt's The Christian Lyre (1831), Henry Ward Beecher's Plymouth Collection (1855), and The English Hymnal (1906). Marion J. Hatchett (in A Companion to The New Harp of Columbia, 2003, p. 33) also says that "PLEADING SAVIOR (SALTASH) goes back to Joshua Leavitt's Christian Lyre." The Christian Lyre is "A Monthly Musical Periodical founded and edited by Joshua Leavitt (an American Presbyterian) in 1830. It is not known how long it continued in existence; a copy of an early volume in the Harvard Divinity School Library is marked 'Vol.1 3rd edn 1831.'" (From this page). |
