[Magdalen] Bishops' choices of funeral hymns

[Scott Knitter]

After a trip to London during which I attended Sunday services at
Westminster Abbey, an organist friend asked me what the prelude was in
the Abbey that morning. I told her it was Wachet auf, and she replied,
"I knew it...What else is there?"

We had "whack it off" today, expertly played by our interim organist.
