Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Rachie has been reverted.
Your edit here to Rachie was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LavcucjhaE) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Sound files

Great to see (hear) the sound files you are adding. Are they as the tunes were written rather than arrangements?SovalValtos (talk) 22:02, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Eds009 (talk) 22:20, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Answer: As the tunes were written - except that different hymn books have different harmonies - and use different keys. ‘Llef’, for example, is sung in Wales both in E minor and D minor. Of the eight tunes I have added, all except ‘Crimond' are published in different keys. The melody is always exactly the same as was originally written, but harmonies depend on which hymn book I use to play the tune. Also, some organ stops (e.g. mixtures) add on extra ‘sounds' in a chord, and for some ‘lines' I may not play the organ pedals to reflect a quieter line of music. Hope that helps. Eds009 (talk) 22:20, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I think different harmonies as in different hymn books are what I mean in my non technical way as different arrangements. My feeling is that simplicity is the key here to illustrating a tune. Just a simple line without harmonies unless the tune was composed with harmonies originally. So no extra harmonies added later such as by a hymn book editor. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 22:35, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Eds009 (talk) 23:15, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Thanks. All the tunes I have posted were originally written by the composer with harmonies, and hymn books always add harmonies to the melody. Hymn tunes can be rather boring without 'moving' harmonies e.g. repeat the same note three or four times. I used a hymn book to play each tune - I cannot play 'by ear' or make an arrangement. So the tunes are very authentic and are as close as possible to the composer's original. Where hymn book editors have made changes, it is typically to the key, e.g. making it higher or lower to help congregations sing the tune (this is frequent), or to correct a musical error, e.g. not using consecutive fifths or repeating thirds. Best wishes. ColinEds009 (talk) 23:15, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
