From the archives of The Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland comes 'English Hymns and Their Tunes: A Survey by Erik Routley' - this was a Hymn Society publication, printed for the International Hymn Society Conference which we hosted in Oxford in 1981. It was intended for private circulation among members of Conference only and so would have had a very limited circulation. Our Secretary had one copy!

It is now digitised and available on the website for members to read: hymnsocietygbi.org.uk/2020/08/english-hymns-and-their-tunes-a-survey-by-erik-routley/ ... See MoreSee Less
