7 Dainty Airs

The Parson & the Songmen

Send us a text

As we explored in Podcast Six, The Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould was not slow to edit, or completely rewrite, songs that he felt would not be fit for his intended audience. In this episode we discover just what happened to those airs, and focus on the creation of a brand new composition that was born out of this process.
