Readily accessible and easy to follow, the music in each volume is presented in modern form so that it can be instantly understood and sung by a congregation, a choir, a class, a club, or an individual. Each volume includes an introduction to the music, editorial notes, and a section on performance practice that covers the basic elements of the choral sound, the effect of the lyrics, the musical symbols used, ornamentation, and accompaniment. The original tunebooks often indicate only the first few words of the text, leaving it to the performers to find the remaining lyrics in psalm and hymn books. In this series, the full text of the music has been set in all voices. Also, in many tunebooks the repetition of a line is indicated by only the first two or three words. The music in this series repeats such lines in full making it easy for modern performers to use the material with a minimum of fuss and bother.
