Mailbag: “O God, our help when typing fast...”

January 26, 2012

Dear Michael,

Is not the cantus firmus in the third movement of the Chris Hazel work the hymn tune "Saint Anne" (O God our help...) rather than "Old 100th" (Praise God from whom...[Doxology]) -- ???

Yes, absolutely correct...sometimes my ear hears one thing and the brain, in haste as I whip together my text, types another.
