about

23. Aberdeen, or St. Paul’s Hymn
One of Robert Bremner's first music related jobs was to try and standardize the music being performed in the Church of Scotland. He wrote a pretty funny critique of the music being performed in Kirks around Scotland and included several settings for Hymns with harmonies. His hope being that if he had stellar standard Hymns people wouldn't need to experiment with the Hymns, and the music would be better.
For Bremner's Setting which I think was first published in the 1750s:
