    I think I'm with K on this one. Some hymns can stand a reharmonisation and for some it seems a bit too much. This wasn't overdone as such, and Sir Sydney was for sure no musical vandal, but the major chord was the obvious thing to do and for me it altered the mood too much.

    I wouldn't have played it twice, either - once is enough, if you're going to do it at all.

    As regards the service, now I've caught up with it I second all the positives above. Many thanks to all who took part.

      Anyone care to compare the BBC singers' version, which could be heard just a couple of hours before the Sunday repeat?

      (I thought that was pretty good too, actually.)
