Publisher's Synopsis
Conversations On The Choral Service: Being An Examination Of Popular Prejudices Against Church Music (1853) is a book written by Robert Druitt. The book is a detailed examination of the popular prejudices against church music and how they have affected the choral service. The author presents his arguments in the form of conversations between himself and various individuals who hold different opinions on the subject. The book covers a wide range of topics related to church music, including the history of church music, the role of music in worship, the use of instruments in the choral service, and the importance of congregational participation. The author also addresses common objections to church music, such as the belief that it is too elaborate or distracting, and argues that these objections are based on misunderstandings of the true nature and purpose of church music.Overall, Conversations On The Choral Service is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the role of music in worship and the challenges faced by those who seek to promote and preserve the choral service in the face of popular prejudices. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of church music, as well as for those who are involved in the planning and execution of choral services.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
