Somebody sent me this little gem last night. It’s the old English ballad “Dives and Lazarus,” based on the story of the rich man and the beggar in Luke 16. The tune is incidentally often heard in 3/4 time as the hornpipe, “Star of the County Down,” and in some hymnals it becomes “Canticle of the Turning.” The violinist is my multi-talented friend, the late Paul Anders, whom you may have seen on other instruments on this site. I’m not sure when we did this one, but I recall it was a beautiful night.
