Title: Leaves me searching for more
Review: A review of hymnody very heavily weighted towards 19th and 20th-century protestantism. The 20 centuries of Western (Roman) hymnody is barely touched and the 20 centuries of Eastern (Orthodox) hymnody is virtually ignored. In contrast, comprehensive, contemporary choices for hymnody studies should include the Hymnal Companion to the Lutheran Book of Worship (Stulken) and The Hymnal 1982 Companion (Glover).My edition has some typesetting incongruity that makes it appear as though some of the hymn and tune selections were reproduced from other sources.If you're looking for a comprehensive study of Christian hymnody, you'll probably be disappointed with this choice.
Is the review positive or negative?
