A glimpse of another era... The all-male choir and pupils of the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, Suffolk, sing some of the 'big' Public School hymns and choral anthems in their impressive chapel, back in 1965.Apart from what might be considered a few eccentricities (relating to the period), this must be some of the clearest, most tuneful singing from such an institution that I know.In particular, the sound engineers have done well to let us hear the mighty, west-end Hill, Norman and Beard (1933) in a greatly resonant acoustic, without it overpowering the singers. ...

We end the month as we began with a reflection by Gordon Giles; this reflection is on 'Jerusalem the Golden, with milk and honey blest' to the tune: EWING.

Day 30, our penultimate reflection, is by Andrew Pratt on his hymn 'The song of the sea, once melodious, is dying' sung to the tune: STREETS OF LAREDO.

Day 28 of our Hymn of the Day for July comes from Ian Sharp, reflecting on 'Jesus was passing through Jericho' by Alan Gaunt to his own tune: JERICHO SONG. "The author’s own note explains that this is ‘a song for all-age worship... Written to be sung, it could equally well be read aloud, as a passage of prose.
