Nunc Dimittis. The Setting Was Awful

I was a diffident and mentally unengaged choir boy. I did enjoy singing decants. But most hymns, musically, bored me. The exception was the Nunc dimittis. I remember one particularly beautiful setting. Uncharacteristically, I looked forward looked forward to the following Sunday when I could hear it again. Ugh! The organist had chosen and play some dreadful alternative setting. My disappointment was profound.
