"MADRID" HYMN TUNE
Sir,-May I, through The Listener, ask "B Sharp" (Ashburton), how the tune comes to be named "Madrid" in the Methodist Hymnal? It is none other than the tune known in England as "Edwinstow." And as "Edwinstow" has been sung by leading choirs and played by all brass bands all over England, even sometimes as a test piece, for the last 50 years or more to my knowledge. As "Madrid" it is altered in lines 10, 11 and 12, and to my mind not improved. I would send the Edwinstow setting to "B Sharp" if he will write me.
