"It has been over two decades since the most recent edition of 'Hymns, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,' 1950 was published. Since that time, little activity in Mormon hymnody has been evident. This dissertation project is an effort to discover the present status of hymnody in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A goal of the study is to motivate poets and musicians in the Church toward an era of increased enthusiasm and productivity: that new hymns might be brought forth and added to the legacy of hymns created by past generations and that these hymns may be worthy representations of the Latter-day Saints in this generation."
