Review
"This is an excellent addition to Selah's ongoing series of hymn-related organ music. One advantage of this volume over others in the series is that it includes some vocal descants, which are printed in both the organ and single-line versions, thus easily reproducible for the singers. An even bigger advantage is that the book includes settings of rarely set tunes such as ST. JOAN and ST. BOTOLPH, as well as familiar tunes such as AUSTRIA, MOSCOW, SALZBURG, CORONATION, ROCKINGHAM, HYMN TO JOY, and many others. Not all the settings come with descants, and there is one interlude for GENERAL SEMINARY. This would be a good resource to use to give some added interest to a parish's hymn-singing, especially if one is looking for some new descants." --AAM Journal, September 2001
