False Identifications

The melody to the ending of Friends past, re-united has been falsely identified as "Lord, let me know mine end" by Maurice Greene, and was thought to be a recording by the Lichfield Cathedral Choir.

Another false identification is the Milford Parish Church recording of St. Luke Passion from April 8, 1966. Although there are many similarities between the two recordings, they are not from the same church, nor the same recording company. Although the original recording still remains at large, the Milford Parish recording is the closest thing available.

The record was also at one point incorrectly assumed to be performed by the Guildford Cathedral Choir. This lead was supported by the similar personnel in the Guildford and Milford choir, however it was closed mid 2022 as it was proven the Guildford Cathedral did not have the Passion in their repertoire.
