Imma ignore the events—outrageous, ridiculous and pathetic—of this week and give you the opening hymn from last Saturday’s memorial service for my friend Dick.
This isn’t perhaps the most rousing rendition of “Guide Me,
O Though Great Redeemer”, but all the Welsh male choruses I heard just…didn’t
click with me, for some reason.
But Dick would definitely have enjoyed the purpose of this
setting—the service
marking the centenary of the establishment of the Royal Air Force, held in
Westminster Abbey in July, 2018.
You don’t get the full effect of the basses echoing the refrain, but you should still crank it up and let it fill your space.
