This volume presents reprints of the prefaces to representative
collections of metrical psalms. Psalm-singing, an essentially
popular form of music, required some musical knowledge in the
singers, and it was in these prefaces that the compilers gave basic
information on the staves, clefs and note-values of contemporary
notation. Dr Rainbow's introduction is a fascinating guide to the
changing tastes and needs shown by the carefully selected reprints.
