5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent primer,
By Carlton Higginbotham "Bassocantante" (South Bend IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Survey of Christian Hymnody (Paperback)
This is an excellent survey of the history of western Christian hymnody from the earliest Biblical and historical references to modern times. Written in clear, non-esoteric language, this book can be enjoyed by church musician and lay person alike. Learn the historical, social and theological background of our hymn heritage. Though published by an unabashedly evangelical-friendly house, this book does not advocate for any particular style of music, but rather embraces all hymnody that has reflected and/or influenced communities of faith.

This review is from: A Survey of Christian Hymnody (Paperback)
I have found this book to be well researched and presented. The history of hymnology is very thorough. The anthology of hymn examples is quite useful for classroom applications. It would be good to see an expansion of the topics in the introduction into more significant treatment.

This review is from: A Survey of Christian Hymnody (Paperback)
A review of hymnody very heavily weighted towards 19th and 20th-century protestantism. The 20 centuries of Western (Roman) hymnody is barely touched and the 20 centuries of Eastern (Orthodox) hymnody is virtually ignored. In contrast, comprehensive, contemporary choices for hymnody studies should include the Hymnal Companion to the Lutheran Book of Worship (Stulken) and The Hymnal 1982 Companion (Glover).My edition has some typesetting incongruity that makes it appear as though some of the hymn and tune selections were reproduced from other sources. If you're looking for a comprehensive study of Christian hymnody, you'll probably be disappointed with this choice.
