Notes

Given To God:  From A Singing Faith. Written as a tribute to Christine McIntosh, a member of the Cathedral parish family, who died on 31 July 1995. The hymn was sung in a packed cathedral at her funeral. The tune Saffron Walden I chose because it is named after the beautiful town in England where my French Huguenot forbears settled, and where, because of this family link, and also its proximity to Cambridge University, Fred and I lived for several months in 1989-90.

Suggested tune: Saffron Walden, A.H.Brown (A&MR 120
