Reviews
"As Volume VII of the series 'Hymn Intonations, Preludes, and Free Harmonizations,' Austin C. Lovelace provides an introduction, theme, and four variations for organ on Dykes' NICAEA. Taking about 4 1/2 minutes in performance, the piece makes only modest demands on either player or instrument." -Bulletin of The Hymn Society of Great Britain and Ireland, July 1994.

"An appealing, easy setting with introduction and 4 variations; reminiscent of the Piet Post Partita on Holy, Holy (Ars Nova)."-Worship Arts, Nov./Dec. 1994

"This set of variations is ideal for the organist with limited pedal technique. Each variant utilizes a different motivic idea to accompany the cantus firmus. This work is adaptable to almost any organ, pipe or electronic. Easy to moderate in difficulty." -Cross Accent, January 1995

"Selah's series of Hymn Intonations, Preludes, and Free Harmonizations is again represented with two volumes by Austin Lovelace. Volume IV (160-724) contains two preludes: a partita on Hamburg, and a Toccatta on Engleberg. Volume VII (160-727) contains a single partita, "Variations on Holy, Holy, Holy") shorter than but reminiscent of the well-known Piet Post partita on the same tune Nicaea). Both volumes are well-printed, well-written, and useful." -The Hymn, July 1994
