Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive collection of Christian hymns. It contains almost 200 separate pieces of music, many of which are written by the author. The book is divided into two sections. The first section contains tunes the author composed during his tenure at two different churches in Brooklyn, and the latter section is mostly written for choir and congregational singing, composed during his near two-decade affiliation with Plymouth Church. The author traces the historical development of congregational singing, and provides helpful guidance for selecting the right tunes and instruments to best facilitate it. The tunes in the book feature a wide range of moods and styles, from the subdued and reflective to the jubilant and celebratory. The author provides informative prefaces for many of the songs, discussing their origins, significance, and intent. This book will be of interest to historians, music scholars, church musicians, and anyone who appreciates sacred music.
