"All
Saints
New,"
is
claimed
by
the
histories
as
being
his
master
piece
of
music.
It
is
rather
difficult
to
render,
yet
it
is
a
very
fine
old
melody.
See
further
remarks
about
Hall
under
tune
"Devotion,"
page
48.
"All
Saints
New,"
was
in
the
Sacred
Harp,
page
268
and
269.
It
was
removed
by
the
Revisors
in
1850,
and
"Sweet
Afton,"
and
"Bare
Creek"
inserted.
It
has
come
back
again
in
1911,
with
the
new
arrangements,
and
finds
its
place
in
the
5th
edition.
