Sacred Songs, Vol. 3 of 4: A Standard Collection of Sacred Solos by the Best Composers; Tenor (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sacred Songs, Vol. 3 of 4: A Standard Collection of Sacred Solos by the Best Composers; Tenor

The search after novelty, too, leads often away from the true path, though it is quite true that contemporaneous composers are sending forth many excellent sacred songs. Among the mass of works which issue from the press, however, not a large percentage of good solo num bers can be found. Anthems and services are written plentifully, but these do' not fall with in the scope of the present series. The object of this collection is to furnish songs for the 8010 voice, and not only that, but to furnish them in proper keys for the four principal voices.

The value of the collection has been increased by the wide variety of the schools represent ed in it. The use of English text for certain airs belonging to the service of the Roman Catholic church is justified by long-standing custom and makes these admirable works available for Protestant churches..
