5.0 out of 5 stars A Hymnal to be proud of, March 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Adoremus Hymnal: Organ Edition (Ring-bound)

This is the much anticipated new hymnal that will inspire Catholics to want to sing the great sacred music of our heritage. Beautifully bound, this hymnal is much more than a collection of hymns. Following the general plan in Musicam Sacram, this hymnal consists of three major sections: the Order of the Mass; musical settings for the Ordinary of the Mass; and a selection of about 160 of the most beautiful hymns ever written - for every season of the liturgical year and other feasts and holidays. All three sections include Latin and English selections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great hymns, poor set-up, May 21, 2010

This review is from: The Adoremus Hymnal: Organ Edition (Ring-bound)

I love the selection of hymns in the Adoremus Hymnal. It comprises the very best of the traditional in English as well as the standard chants in Latin. For the organist, the harmonizations are beautiful and a bit surprising in that they sometimes are a little more innovative than the usual I-IV-V-I harmonies.

I do have a complaint, and I speak as an organist: there are many page turns in the middle of hymns, and they are usually in awkward places in the music. Most editors of organ hymn books are very fastidious about the page turns, as most organists like to turn pages as seldom as possible. Also, it would have been better if the rings of the loose-leaf binder were "D" rings rather than the traditional round rings. "D" rings keep the back pages from curling at the spine when the binder is closed.

This review is from: The Adoremus Hymnal: Organ Edition (Ring-bound)

I ordered this product,The Adoremus Hymnal: Organ Edition, but never received it. I play the piano and organ for church, so was so excited to get the Organ Edition with appropriate binding and chords, to use at church, especially during the Christmas season.

But I got a small pew addition with NO chords and impossible binding, so that I can't use it.

I emailed GOHAWKS-BOOKS twice, and received a curt response that they sent it, so it wasn't their problem, that I should contact the post office. I emailed them again, describing what I received, which was NOT what I ordered and they said for me to send it back. I emailed them that I live in the country, so I needed a mailer and postage, so that I could drop it in my rural mailbox, to return their mistake, and they didn't answer.

If I have to make a trip into town, and purchase a mailer and postage... it will cost me more than the original order.

Finally, I got a curt note that since I didn't return it, I would be charged $5. FOR THEIR MISTAKE!!!! They literally charged MY credit card for their OWN mistake! They gave me no way to return their mistake without it costing me MORE than the original order.

My family and I are NOT happy with GOHAWKS-BOOKS, and hope that Amazon will not tolerate this. I am warning my friends to be cautious before ordering things from Amazon.

Sincerely, Carol Tirrell
