The organ – a three manual pipe organ dating originally from 1892 and well-maintained since then – is generally recognised to be one of the best church instruments in Edinburgh and the organist is an experienced and committed professional musician whose contribution to worship is deeply appreciated. In days of old, the organist would assist the Gallery Gang with their regular musical contributions to worship. The congregation uses CH4, occasionally supplemented by songs and hymns from other resources.

London: British Broadcasting Corporation. At the end of his opera Don Giovanni, Mozart uses the switch from minor to major to considerable dramatic effect: "As the Don disappears, screaming in agony, the orchestra settles in on a chord of D major. The change of mode offers no consolation, though: it is more like the tierce de Picardie, the 'Picardy third' (a famous misnomer derived from tierce picarte, 'sharp third'), the major chord that was used to end solemn organ preludes and toccatas in the minor keys in days of old."Taruskin, R. (2010).

Germein remained in charge of the light house, but relations with his subordinate became strained and he was transferred to the Troubridge lighthouse around the beginning of 1866. In October 1866 he resigned the lighthouse service and successfully applied for renewal of his pilot's licence. It would appear his love of variety had induced him to rejoin the pilot service, of which he was one of the smartest members in days of old, when the principal duties were to boxhaul sailing vessels about. When the pilot's duty changed from sail to steam, Ben Germein lost his sympathy with the service.

It is clear that Kyllenos, the son of Elatos, gave the mountain its name and the god his surname. In days of old, men made wooden images, so far as I have been able to discover, from the following trees ebony, cypress, cedar, oak, yew, lotus.

The Völuspá describes how Baldr and his brother Hödr return together once again and are reconciled, and, at stanza 61, that in the grass are found tangible artifacts from an earlier time: ::In wondrous beauty shall be found ::The golden table pieces in the grass ::That the gods possessed in days of old In this context then, the gaming figures are a symbol of hope and regeneration and the survival of a new family of gods, bringing the mythology full circle.

The Octavii originally came from the Volscian town of Velitrae, in the Alban Hills. The historian Suetonius writes, > There are many indications that the Octavian family was in days of old a > distinguished one at Velitrae; for not only was a street in the most > frequented part of town long ago called Octavian, but an altar was shown > there besides, consecrated by an Octavius. This man was leader in a war with > a neighbouring town, and when news of a sudden onset of the enemy was > brought to him just as he chanced to be sacrificing to Mars, he snatched the > entrails of the victim from the fire and offered them up half raw; and thus > he went forth to battle, and returned victorious. There was, besides, a > decree of the people on record, providing that for the future too the > entrails should be offered to Mars in the same way, and the rest of the > victims be handed over to the Octavii.

The 9th century fictional storyteller Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights, who saves herself from execution by telling tales, is one example illustrating the value placed on storytelling in days of old. Centuries before Scheherazade, the power of storytelling is reflected by Vyasa at the beginning of the Indian epic Mahabharata. Vyasa says, "If you listen carefully, at the end you'll be someone else." In the Middle Ages storytellers, also called a troubadour or a minstrel, could be seen in the market places and were honored as members of royal courts. Medieval storytellers were expected to know all the current tales and in the words of American storyteller Ruth Sawyer, ‘to repeat all the noteworthy theses from the universities, to be well informed on court scandal, to know the healing power of herbs and simples (medicines), to be able to compose verses to a lord or lady at a moment's notice, and to play on at least two of the instruments then in favor at court.’ According to some writers there were 426 minstrels employed at the wedding of Princess Margaret of England in 1290.
