Excerpt from The Bach Chorale Book: A Collection of Hymns Set Exclusively to Chorales
Unlike other hymn-books, this is a collection of Tunes with accompanying hymns, and not a collection of Hymns with accompanying tunes. The hymns are subject to the Tunes, more than the tunes to the Hymns. A departure such as this from approved practice requires explanation.
