If you're playing yourself rather than looking for existing CDs etc,
   and can transpose, a lot of hymns have fairly straightforward tunes
   and fit the pipes very well. Abide with me and Amazing Grace both do,
   as does Crimond which is so closely associated with funerals that some
   people won't have it for anything else. Hymn tunes can't spread over
   too wide a range of notes because they have to fit the range of
   ordinary voices, and they have to be sung at a pace an ordinary voice
   can manage.
