-
Bibliography of British and American hymns of the twentieth century.
-
The word hymn is used in general sense, and in this bibliography simply means congregational song. Includes any literature about twentieth-century British and American hymns.
-
Organized in five chapters. Each chapter is arranged topically; within each topic the writings are listed in chronological order. Chapter 1 presents a general discussion of twentieth-century British and American hymnody. Includes references to the entries in subsequent chapters. Chapter 2 deals with the repertory of hymnody: mainstream hymnody; popular congregational song; ethnic, global, folk, and insular hymnody; congregational psalmody; and individual denominations and hymnals [organized alphabetically by denomination]. Chapter 3 traces changes in the language of British and American hymnody. Chapter 4 discusses practical aspects of congregational song. Chapter 5 focuses upon the contributions of individuals--text writers, tune composers, translators, arrangers, hymn leaders, and hymnal compilers--to the repertory of hymnody during the twentieth century.
