Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christian Chorals: For the Chapel Fireside A limited number of hymns, set to thoughtful music, are here offered to the steadily increasing groups of those who are tired of compromise with the paltry and the common-place. Three hundred praise-songs, if carefully chosen, are enough to satisfy all the moods of Christian worship. This number is here, and in a simple yet precise topical order. These closely selected words are united with truthful and sober Church tones, many of them of deep historic interest and so old that to some they will be entirely new, many of them appearing now for the first time in American print, all of them full of vitality and musical character. The great choralists, Bach, and Cruger, and Decius, and their fellows, sufficiently predominate to give this collection its name: but Barnby and Dykes, and their peers, are not in the background. Nor do these by any means exclude the work of some conscientious American composers. Of easy ditties and half-shriven ballad strains there are meant to be none. The slothful, who would offer to the Highest ascriptions which cost little and are worth no more, will see no beauty to desire in these dignified movements, whose high devotional value must be spiritually discerned. But some, who are weary of glassy jingle and endless iterations of the three chords, will recognise and welcome the vigor of these harmonies, and handling them earnestly will experience their power.
