Changing tunes seems to be done a lot more in the C of E, and it's
easier because congregants are used to music and words being separate
(on facing pages), and many times being provided with words only, so
it's not as strange to use a different tune than it is for us who can
still see the printed tune while trying to sing the one being played.
