Publisher's Synopsis
The Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book, published in 1860, is a comprehensive collection of hymns and tunes intended for use during religious services. The book was compiled by Lowell Mason, a prominent American music educator and composer who is considered one of the founders of music education in the United States. The hymns and tunes in the book are arranged according to the order of service in a typical Protestant church, with sections devoted to opening and closing hymns, hymns for prayer and meditation, and hymns for specific occasions such as baptisms and funerals. The book also includes a section of chants and anthems for use during the service. The hymns and tunes themselves range from traditional favorites such as ""Amazing Grace"" and ""Rock of Ages"" to lesser-known works by contemporary composers. The Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book was widely used in churches throughout the United States during the 19th century and is still considered a valuable resource for those interested in traditional Protestant hymnody.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
