I've been exploring what can be done with a public domain and free/libre/open repertoire. The Resource Collection of Hymns and Service Music for the Liturgy provides a lot of material. There are some gaps. One is a tune for the text "For All the Saints" (number 189). The suggested tune apparently is (or was, as of 1981) still under copyright. I've composed and "field tested" a tune, which I'm calling "St. Beuno," in the corresponding meter and thought I'd share in hopes of feedback. Here are the melody and lead line. (I also have a solo instrument part which my violinist uses.) My intent is something I can make available under an appropriate license (e.g. CC-AT-SA).
