| In Three Hymn Tragedies, the emotional anguish behind the creation of three popular 19th century hymns is explored. The hymns are (in order of appearance) It Is Well With My Soul (Spafford/Bliss, 1873), What a Friend We Have In Jesus (Scriven/Converse, 1855) and Bringing in the Sheaves (Shaw/Minor, 1874). | |
