Publisher's Synopsis
Psalms, Hymns and Anthems is a book of religious music published in 1774 by the London Foundling Hospital. The book contains a collection of hymns and psalms, as well as anthems that were sung during religious services at the hospital. The music was written by various composers, including Handel, Boyce, and Greene, and the lyrics were taken from the Bible and other religious texts. The book was intended for use in Anglican churches and was widely used in England during the 18th century. The London Foundling Hospital was a charitable institution that provided care for abandoned and orphaned children, and the proceeds from the sale of this book were used to support the hospital's work. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the religious practices of the time and the music that was used in worship services.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
