"Winchester Old" (TLH #31)


I skipt #30 because while the melody was easily playable, LHC does this weird thing where there's a half rest in one measure adjacent to a quarter rest in the next.  I thought three sequential measures of rests would sound weird if I were to record it.

I'd noticed before that LSB has "Winchester New" but not "Winchester Old," and I'd wondered if such a tune actually exists.  I guess it does.
