BATTY (a great name for a tune!)

I don't think these two tune instances: the tune for “All Things Bright and Beautiful” at https://hymnary.org/hymn/PTM1913/page/99 and the tune for “So feierlich und stille" at https://hymnary.org/hymn/SSH1909/page/61 – are BATTY (123234) as advertised. The first five notes are the same, but then these deviate from the model. They may be some form of BATTY, but since the sixth note is 6 instead of 4, they should be separately labeled, I think.

“All Things Bright and Beautiful" in Primary Teacher's Manual and “So feierlich und stille” in Sonntagsschulharfe are identical. The 6th note is C  in both hymnals. Most hymnals these days name this tune RINGE RECHT so I have changed its name

Thanks, Dianne,

Yes, those two are the same tune. Not sure about C, but using the numerical scale system (as in 123234 vs. 123123) it sure looks to me like what is “4” in all the other instances of the tune that have page scans is 6 in these two. But I agree that changing BATTY to RINGE RECHT is a good move.

Okay, I see what you mean. These two seem to be a variation on CHRISTUS DER IST MEIN LEBEN by Vulpius.
