Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Congregational Year-Book: For the Year 1857 The subject of Congregational Singing is attracting the earnest and very general consideration of many churches, in different portions of our land. Singing classes have been formed, and great interest has been manifested, especially by the children and youth, in the practice and correct and appropriate rendering of sacred music. As an efficient aid to the promotion of this pleasant and important part of public worship, and to meet the urgent wants and desires of both pastors and people. Hymn Books, with the music attached, have been prepared, and are now in extensive use. Among the works of this character, is the Plymouth Collection of Hymns and Tunes, prepared under the direction of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. This collection contains over one thousand and three hundred hymns, and three hundred and sixty tunes, "suited to all the ordinary and special occasions of worship in the sanctuary, the lecture-room, the prayer meeting, the family, and the closet." The hymns, for richness, beauty, enduring excellence, and for adaptedness to every phase of christian feeling, and to every condition in life, present a collection unquestionably superior to any work of this class ever published. The tunes embrace a varied and appropriate selection of standard and familiar old church music, with much that is new and original. Although of comparatively recent publication (about eighteen months), the Plymouth Collection has been adopted by Nearly One Hundred Church Congregations, has passed through several large editions, and is rapidly increasing in sale and popularity, so that its reputation may be regarded as permanently established. The publishers select but two only of the numerous recommendations which have been received from pastors of churches where this work is now in successful use.
