Title: Music
Post by: radstockjeff on Friday 24 November 23 10:51 GMT (UK)

I wonder if anyone can help me on this please.

I am seeking a copy of a piece of music "The nearness of Christ" for mixed voices. It was in a Salvation Army "Allelulia" Collection many years ago.

Words by Miriam Richards with  music arrangement by Norman Bearcroft.
Happy to defray postage or copying costs.

Thanks
rj

All I came across was a website where you can download the title for 49 pence or the whole album for a fiver.

 Perhaps you can guess the notes yourself!
Alternatively, perhaps contact the S A Heritage Centre and see if they can point you in the right direction.

Thanks for that note. I think what you have described is the audio version, a copy of which I have. I am looking for a manuscript version. rj
