Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Congregational Church-Music: With 150 Psalms and Hymns From the Collection of the General Association of Connecticut
In choir singing, a distinct enunciation of the language is justly demanded. In congregational singing, if every individual worshiper sings with the understanding, it is of little consequence whether he makes himself intelligible to his neighbor.
In choir singing, an impressive and tasteful expression is also a thing of high impor tance, greatly as this idea is abused at the present day; but in conducting congregational singing, any attempt at this on the part of the choir is a mere impertinence, as unfit as rhetorical ?ourishes, or elaborate gesticulations, in a prayer.
