Boyd’s Psalm and Hymn Tunes (1793)

Composer

A Select Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes…by the late Henry Boyd, published, clearly posthumously, in Glasgow. This Scottish book has given the world, or preserved for it, one great tune. The only known, and fortuitous, link with Wm Boyd (c1845–1928) lies in the words of Fight the good fight to which tunes from each source have been set. A certain H S Boyd edited and partly translated the poems of Synesius (qv) in 1814. No.544.
