GALILEAN
GALILEAN is a hymn tune in 8.7.8.7 D, composed by Joseph Barnby (1838–1896) (1883). In a hymnal the tune has a name of its own, printed in capitals, because the same music carries many texts: any hymn written in its meter can be sung to it.

The four-part harmony played here comes from the Open Hymnal Project's public-domain edition (copied from "In Excelsis: hymns with tunes for Christian worship" By Century Company, 1911 copyright 1896 Hymn 462. This tune might come from "Original Tunes to Popular Hymns for Use in Church and Home Vol 2", published 1883. I haven't found a copy of it. he also published "Hymn Tunes" in 1897; can't find it.).
