5.0 out of 5 stars
A good reference for anyone working with Am. hymnody.,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Fuging-Tunes, 1770-1820: A Descriptive Catalog (Music Reference Collection) (Hardcover)
Kroeger's tune census has almost everything I want in a reference work of this sort. He even includes brief biographical sketches of the composers. I've used the first line index to quickly look up hymn text authors. The one complaint I have is that Kroeger never gives a master list of the tune incipits. When I wanted to look up a fuging tune with a tune name other than that given it by its composer, there was no easy way to see if it was in Kroeger's catalog. I ended up having to search for it via the metrical index (fortunately the tune I was searching for was *not* in Common Meter!)
I keep this book on the shelf handy to my desk and find myself reaching for it often.
