Excerpt from The Congregational Psalmist, Vol. 1: A Companion to All the New Hymn Books; Providing Tunes, Chorales, and Chants for the Metrical Hymns and Passages of Scripture Contained in Those Books; Tunes and Chorales
The varying capacities of congregations have also been considered; while the great bulk of the tunes are such as the least advanced may use, some tunes are inserted which only the cultured can sing.
To the Catholic character of the book, to the imperishable qualities of the grand chorals which have come down to us from past generations, and to the variety of taste and capacity for which it provides, its large success is doubtless owing.
The present Edition contains fifty-three additional tunes. These are added, partly, to supply such deficiencies as the practical use of the book had revealed, partly, to add some tunes of unquestionable excellence which had been overlooked, and partly, to enable the use of tunes which have appeared since this work was published, and which, from various causes, have become popular. Permission to use the latter has in every instance been most readily and generously given, and is hereby most gratefully acknowledged.
