This setting of the Southern Harmony tune, Fairfield keeps its folk quality in apite of being accompanied throughout its treen stanzas. The tree-part writing allows for a more transparent texture and a generous application of unison writing allows for an appropriately rhythmic feel. The John Mason text, “How Shall I Sing that Majesty?” is appropriate for All Saints’.
