St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Lake Bennett, British Columbia

Appendix C. Music at Bennett Church1
"I would also like another dozen records of a little different stamp
from most of those which I have. They are with the exception of the
patriotic pieces, nearly all of a light character and patriotic pieces
are all American. You know we are British. Could you give us any British
airs like, 'The Royal Grenadiers', 'Soldiers of the Queen', 'Death of
Nelson', 'The Maple Leaf', 'Rule Britannia', 'Flowers of the Forest',
'Scots wa' Hae'', 'God Save the Queen' (i.e. 'America'), 'Locholea no
more'. Are there any records of any of the classic pieces of sacred
music, like 'The Messiah', 'Redemption', 'Jerusalem'?. Possibly too you
could find some of the great hymns with variations played by some of the
great bands or orchestras. These would be very acceptable for some
occasions. I notice too that I have no recitations or speeches. A few of
these both serious and comic would be good for variety. You might also
add one half a dozen blank cylinders for making records."
