Book Description
Excerpt from The Family Choir, or Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs for Social Worship: The Music Selected From Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Righini, Romberg, Croft, Webbe, Mehul, Ritter, Rink, L. Mason, Hastings, Silcher, &C Whether music as connected with religion, should be confined to simple Psalmody, or extended to those superior Species of composition of which it. Is found susceptible, is a question on which widely different judgments have been pronounced by some of the brightest ornaments of the Christian church, and on which, any attempt to decide, within the limits of a short preface, might be justly deemed presumptuous. The statement of a few general principles may, however, be neither unacceptable nor useless. The only legitimate object recog nised by Christianity in the exercise of singing in its connection with worship, is spiritual edification, by the more impressive expression of religious sentiment, and the more powerful excitement of religious affections. But sentiments to be rationally expressed, must be understood, and no emotion entitled to be called religious can be awakened or invigorated, except by means of such sen timent. Those compositions, therefore, which, instead of increasing the clear ness and force of the truths they are employed to express, either conceal or perplex them, must be hinderances rather than helps to devotion, whatever the dignity or sweetness of their strains, or the richness or perfection of the barmo nic combinations. It thus becomes abundantly obvious that simplicity should characterize all compositions intended for public worship; that tunes selected to be sung by a congregation should be adapted to the actual requirements of, at least the great majority of, the individuals composing it; and that even in attempts to improve their taste, or in the introduction of compositions better fitted to the solemnities of the sanctuary than those previously in use, all should be so done as to infringe as little as possible on the liberty of the congregation to join in the singing.

Book Description
Excerpt from Psalms and Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: A Manual of Worship for the Church of Christ This Book of Hymns and Tunes has been prepared by a Pastor in charge of Church. He has undertaken the work with the single aim and hope of encouraging singing by the Congregation, as a part of divine worship. He has not sought to compile a Manual of Hymnology, nor to furnish a collection of pieces of Lyric Poet ry. Everything has been bent to the one purpose of actual use. All the Selections are set to music in sight. But it is not to be understood that each must be sung exactly and invariably to the tune under which it is printed. In most cases a choice is presented a new or fresher one being matched with one older or more familiar. It may be that mere mechanical reasons have forced the hymn into the place it occupies, when the more appropriate music will be found below, or across on the Opposite page. A quiet care in noting the metres will avoid all confusion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
