The source readings in Hymnology are primary documents illustrating
the philosophy and practice of congregational singing during
various historical periods of the Christian church. They are drawn
from a wide variety of sources including letters, diaries,
periodicals, hymnal and tunebook prefaces, theological treatises,
certain controversial books and pamphlets, and deliberations of
church councils. The material ranges in date from the beginning of
the second century to the 1960s. All the major streams of Christian
song are covered, including early Greek and Latin hymnody,
pre-Reformation vernacular hymnody, the Lutheran chorale, Reformed
psalmody, and English and American hymnody from the sixteenth to
the twentieth century. The book is suitable for use as a text or
supplementary text for courses in hymnology, a professional
reference work for ministers and church musicians, and a book for
laymen interested in the history of church music.
