Excerpt from Concerning Hymn Tunes and SequencesAN appropriate hymn - tune releases and relieves our inmost feelings, and for this it is welcome. But often a shout or a cheer, if unanimous, will do the like, and a tune must do more. It must stimulate the emotions of which it is the vehicle, more important still, it must regulate them, otherwise it may do no good service to a congregation, but the reverse. As a safety-valve a sweet melody has its uses, but in repetition it may let o¿' so much steam as to send congregations away enervated instead of refreshed and invigorated. Discernment is difiicult in this matter, distinction between the fit and unfit tune is a delicate task. But it has to be attempted, and especially at this juncture when old Hymnals have disappointed many good judges, and when new Hymnals have not altogether satisfied others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
