(Continued on page 3) CROSSPIECE 3 Littledale’s moving translation (Come down, O Love divine) of Friar Bianco da Siena’s late me- dieval hymn should bear that name.

The answer is very simple. The tune was com- posed by the great Ralph Vaughan Williams spe- cially to fit Littledale’s text, which was to be in- cluded in the English Hymnal. RVW was the mu- sical editor of the hymnal and the hymn had never before been included in an English hymn-book, so a new tune was needed.

‘Come down, O Love divine’ has been one of my favourite hymns since boyhood; and it still is ca- pable of bringing a surreptitious tear to my eyes Ralph hardly knew him, as he died when the boy as the simple but profound message of the words was only two years old. sinks in when we sing it.

The new bishop will become the 69th Bishop of Ely when officially installed early next year. He succeeds Bishop , who retired in February 2010.

The new bishop toured the diocese recently and met parishioners planning to build a new church at Hampton Vale. He also met farmers in Ramsey. Bishop Conway said: "It is a joyful prospect to serve all God's people in the region, to discover together what God is doing and to join in." Later he met members of the 4 CROSSPIECE

Starting with a splash, ‘Singing (and dancing) in the Rain’ we ran through many watery items. ‘Captain Noah’ was expressively sung and beautifully orchestrated; a song for ‘Twelfth Night’ was a de- light and we were lifted off our feet by a brass ensemble.

Hence this concert by Stuart and his accom- panist Michael Hodges.

The first part of the concert was a performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Songs of Travel”, composed early in the twentieth century as set- tings to nine varied poems by Robert Louis Ste- venson – rich music with many contrasts and fine piano parts.

Then followed an organ solo: Bach’s prelude in B minor. Michael played stylishly, gradually build- ing up the registration towards a climax at the Tony, Michael Hodges (Piano & Organ), end. This is one of my favourite Bach pieces – Stuart Raeburn (Tenor).

At least one kilt was to be seen amongst the dancers, while some members of the Chinese Church came along joining in with gusto. Thanks to Jennifer Day for organising this event, which raised some £170 for church funds. A few photos are shown below:
