Thus, what we call [[New Britain]] is often called [[Amazing Grace (Tune)|Amazing Grace]], and occasionally [[McIntosh]], among other possible names. These are alternate tune names, and are entered in the Wiki in order to help people who use them (or encounter them in the literature) to find their way to the pertinent page, which is the one headed by the name the editor of the site has chosen to prefer. Sometimes, over time, one name supplants another. Thus, what was once frequently called [[Portuguese Hymn]] is now almost always called [[Adeste Fideles (Tune)|Adeste Fideles]], and what was once called [[Joanna]] is now almost always called [[St. Denio]]. In recent years, [[Valet will ich dir geben]] seems to be gaining ground against [[St. Theodulph]], though [[Ave Maria klärer]] doesn't seem to be making corresponding headway against [[Ellacombe]]. In other cases (like New Britain vs. Amazing Grace, or [[Martyrdom]] vs. [[Avon]]) the names seem to coexist, and many hymnals actually note both, as e.g. [[Martyrdom (Avon)]].<br /> <br /> [[category:Tunes]]<br /> [[category:Terms]]</div>
