ALL SAINTS

ALL SAINTS is a stately tune with a demanding harmony that a good singing congrega­ tion or choir will want to sing in parts. See PHH 230 for background information on ALL SAINTS; the setting there is also in a lower key. [Liturgical Use] Probably most useful before or after the sermon, but also suitable in many other contexts.
