I've heard nothing but excellent things about the tour. So glad to see this repertoire unearthed.

The stories about which hymns are or are not included in publications are interesting. I know that Calon Lan was, in the early days, not included in a hymn book because the whole first verse and chorus never once mention God. In translation...

I seek not life's ease and pleasures,
Earthly treasures, pearls, nor gold.
Give to me a live made happy,
Clean, and honest to unfold.

A clean heart, o'erflowed with goodness
Fairer than the lily bright.
A clean heart forever singing;
Singing through the day and night.

And yet, today, it is probably the most sung hymn in sacred and secular settings.

Funny old world.
