In the1906 edition of the English Hymnal a new setting of “For all the Saints”, by Ralph Vaughan Williams was introduced, which he called Sine Nomine, in reference to its use on the Feast of All Saints. It has been described as “one of the finest hymn tunes of the 20th century.”
Peter K. Haile selected Vaughan Williams' Sine Nomine, “For all the Saints” for his Memorial Service.
It was a brilliant move to appoint the relatively unknown composer Ralph Vaughan Williams as music editor of English Hymnal (1906). He brought a moral commitment to the search for the best in hymn tunes, and introduced much that was new and is now taken for granted. The most widely used of all his own tunes (if one excepts ‘Monk’s Gate’ which he re-created from a folk tune) is this one. With these words by William Walsham How, we are the pilgrim church singing our way to heaven to join the saints. But this is no mere drum-banging march: it is subtly contrived, as the rhythm of the alleluias shows. The opening four notes and the alleluias were in fact Vaughan Williams’s melodic fingerprints throughout his life.
