"Darwall's 148th"


I'd intended to do something related to St. George since to-day is St. George's day, but I already recorded "St. George's, Windsor" back in February.

In lieu of that, I pickt a short and simple one: "Darwall's 148th."  I did some research on this tune a year or two ago, and apparently it was written for the 148th Psalm, which - according to my lectionary - is the Psalm for this week, so there's a topicality to this anyway.

The tune is used for a couple hymns, but I lookt at "Christ Is Our Cornerstone" (LW 290, LSB 912).

I've recorded this one before, but that was last September, before this project's current incarnation.
