Excerpt from The Modern Harp, or Boston Sacred Melodist: A Collection of Church Music, Comprising, in Addition to Many of the Most Popular Tunes in Common Use, a Great Variety of New and Original Tunes, Sentences, Chants, Motetts, and AnthemsIn looking through the great variety of hymn-books now used by the numerous societies, we found many hymns of peculiar metre, and to which no music had been adapted, in any of the collections under our notice. To nearly all of these we have set music, either metrical tunes or chants. It cannot but be gratifying to no tice how rapidly this most solemn species of sacred music - chanting - is growing into public favor. It admits of a more natural and distinct enunciation than the com mon mode of singing, and is, therefore, more favorable to religious expression.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
