I first heard it when I was in the choir of Kingston on Thames and the then organist Fergus O'Connor took us into the great parish church to sing it for a friend who had died. It has remained deep in my heart ever since. Nothing however can replace Russian bases when it is sung Surely this is the most beautiful and devotional hymn for the dead.
