Excerpt from Tunes for Worship IN undertaking the preparation of a Tune-book that should meet the wants of the congregations using hymns for the reformed church, the writer became convinced that it might be made to satisfy the wants of a still larger field. As the metres used in that book cover almost all those employed in modern hymnology, a collection of tunes, primarily intended to satisfy its requirements, could readily be made available by all choirs in their quest for tunes of an earnest, devotional character. This collection has been derived from foreign and domestic sources, and, although concessions in a few instances have been made to requests for the retention of favorite tunes, as a general rule tunes that are found in almost all other American collections have been omitted, and in their stead, others inserted which seemed to claim like recognition on the score of intrinsic merit and special adaptation. To Prof. Henry Schwing the harmonization, in whole or in part, of every tune is due, and it is believed that this will he found to satisfy the reasonable criticism of those who have made a study of sacred music. \vhile the melody has been invariably given to the soprano, the harmony has been so treated as to give the other parts something to do, which would justify study and be pleasing to the singer. The Index of First Lines, placed at the end of the book, indicates the tune which, in the judgment of the Editor, is adapted to each hymn in hymns for the reformed church. In the preparation of this, the Editor has had the assistance of the excellent taste and intimate acquaint ance with sacred music of Miss Jane Zacharias, to whom he desires to express his thanks for her valuable services. It is hoped that this index may be helpful to choir-leaders in the performance of their duties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
