14 Stowe, Oldtown Folks, 942; the music of the old New England hymns was very beautiful in a somber way. Most were sung in the minor key. The tune that Puritans called High Dutch was the old Lutheran chorale Vater unser im Himmelreich which is a motif in many Bach chorales (BMV 636, 682, 683, 737, 760-62). Westminster was a melody by Orlando Gibbons. York was the Scottish hymn commonly called The Stilt.
