Hi!
This is a piece I played in the early days when I was taking lessons. My teacher heavily criticized it. I now realise why. The last line of the lyrics say "It may be only in heaven I shall hear that great Amen "
It was composed in 1817 by Arthur Turner at the bedside of his dying brother. For many years it was sung by the top performers of the day. Its difficult to believe it was top the pops for so long. How tastes have changed, not always for the best. In 1912 the great Caruso sang it at a benefit concert in aid of the families of the Titanic victims.
Please be lenient on me for the quality of my playing back then. Ken S.
