All Saints Margaret St (who also stream E and B on Sunday evenings) has quite an extensive library of Benediction hymns adapted from other sources - notably bits of the Rachmaninov Vespers (Walter Vale invited SR to hear them sung at the church, along with the Mass setting he compiled from the same source). Bach, Schutz, Gibbons, Tallis, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Monteverdi, Brahms, Boely, Josquin,Mendelssohn and Elgar have also had the treatment, to name just a few. Most DoMs there have added to the collection of these adaptations - it's a bit of a tradition.
