Notes

(1)  Affectionately dedicated to Osborne H Peasgood, Assistant-organist, Westminster Abbey. Pub Novello, price 2d

(2) In loving memory of little Leslie Dawes. Composer: Bernard A Oram, organist of St. Mark’s, S. Norwood. It is believed that it is this tune to which the story told to DJW by BAO relates that BAO composed this tune, DBS re-harmonised it, improving it greatly, and then published it in BAO’s name (printed on the reverse of No.1)

(3) Piano descants for “Father-like, he tends…” and “Angels, help us to adore him”

(4) Adapted from a melody by William Cornysshe, 1485-1523

(5) Tune by DJW tune written at suggestion of DBS, and re-harmonized by him

(6) To Dear D and G (David Woodward (organist) and Rev. Gordon Rideout (vicar), All Saints’ church, Eastbourne). This places the date between February 1979 and 1985

(7) His Merchiston pupil John Caithness composed a “miniature” for organ on this tune, of which there is a fine copy in Donald’s hand 

(8) Choral setting for v.3: “Yea, though I walk through death’s dark vale.” Parts marked “TATB”
