Richard Fairhurst Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 24 minutes ago, Rowland Wateridge said: Something very different, and rather splendid, Welsh chapel or very large male choirs at the RAH: Arwel Hughes’ wonderful “Tydi, a Roddaist”, No 364, in both Welsh and English. There is much else of course, but this stood out as the most surprising new entry. It was in 'New English Praise' too - one of a handful of rather splendid tunes first selected for that volume. Tertius Noble's 'Ora Labora' ("Come, labour on") is another, and Maurice Bevan's 'Corvedale'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebridean Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Jean Langlais' hymn tune Dieu, nous avons vu, to "God, your glory we have seen in your Son" is alive and well in possibly the most popular Catholic hymn book in England, Laudate. It is number 758. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Fairhurst Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 So it is! I have Laudate on the shelf and had never spotted that. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that having used Laudate for many years now, I have never been called upon to play Langlais' hymn tune - but at least it is there!

He may well do. The hymn is unusual in being famous and well loved but not having a settled tune - it’s sung to several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
