#311 "We Meet Again As Sisters"

When I read the information about this hymn in Karen Lynn Davidson's book, Our Latter-Day Hymns: The Stories and the Messages, I found some interesting information.  Bonnie Goodliffe, a Tabernacle Choir organist, said that she wrote this hymn to have an interesting alto part (since she is an alto).  In the third line, the melody goes to the altos!  (Since I am an alto, too, I appreciate that.)  It was also noted that this hymn could be sung to the tune  "St. Theodulph", which is Hymn #69 "All Glory, Laud, and Honor" in the 1985 hymnal.  The two different hymn tunes make for either a powerful message or a devotional message.  It would be fun to try the tune change.  Also, the composer writes that the left-hand part is strictly an accompaniment and was not intended to be sung.  This is just a two-part women's hymn.
