Let's have more from the Red Book please. Wonderful to hear, What banding memories these revive. Thank you for sharing.

[@avdnet]

Yes, I would like to hear a lot more from "The Extended hymns for Brass Band"

[@David-sv7by]

We used to sing this unaccompanied at the end of an evening session at Lifeboys (Junior Section of Boys' Brigade) in the 1960s. Remember it so well.

[@avdnet]

Heel mooi. Met gevoel gespeeld, maar dat moet ook met hymns!

[@Metal-Possum]

When you know the hymn book numbers like the orders at your local Chinese takeaway. "Uh, 28, 7, and 89 please". Weirdly enough, this is one hymn I do know, and not from being in a brass band, but it's one of the only things I can play on an organ.

Deep.harmony was the name .of This hymn or is it just a.tune Let me know thank you

[@kathleenbradley7142]

They're similar but this is Ellers and deep harmony is a different tune

[@cmayfordian4451]

Is this 'O valiant hearts'?

[@johnboytd]

+C Mayfordian No! this is "Saviour again to Thy dear Name we raise!"

[@Dan_1348]

You certainly can sing 'O valiant hearts' to this tune, as you can any hymn with meter 10.10.10.10 (e.g. 'Immortal Honours')

[@georgf9279]

@@johnboytd I was ready to believe this and thought my search was over. However I continued to reserch the title you gave above. I found, that the parting hymn (Saviour, again...) is the text most commonly used with this tune, but by far not the. The tune itsef is called "Ellers" and was written by E. J. Hopkins in 1869. What I failed to find out is, whether the tune was written for the parting hymn (which is 3 years older) or if it is just most commonly used for that.
